Indonesia, known formally as the Republic of Indonesia, is an island nation composed of a total of 17, 508 islands extending 5,150 km/3,200 miles between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean occupying an area between Asia and [[Australia]]. 
  
 +
The country is made up of five major islands and approximately 30 smaller groups of islands.  However, only approximately 6,000 of those islands are inhabited. 
  
−
North Carolina, also known as “The Old North State” and “The Tarheel State” is a long state. It’s been said it stretches approximately 500 miles between its eastern and western boundaries and close to 150 miles from its northern to southern borders.  It's divided into three primary areas.  From the coast, you have the Eastern North Carolina portion, the Piedmont Region in the middle, and Western North Carolina with the mountains at the other end.
+
It is a country of many mountains, some of which are over 4000 metres/13,123 feet.  A significant percentage of them are active volcanoes.  Some of the habitats here are tropical rainforests, jungles, and swampy mangrove areas. <sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>
  
−
If you begin your journey from far eastern portion, you will see the ancient, sandy, dune laden barrier islands of the Outer Banks where one of the earliest attempts at settlement by English speaking people occurred, cross navigable sounds and tributaries and through lowlands with stands of pines, across forests of hardwoods in the Piedmont, and on into the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
+
==Islands of Indonesia==
 +
===Major Island Groups===
 +
Indonesia has 5 major, or main, island groups.<sup>[[#References|[1]]]</sup>

 +
====Java / Madura====
 +
Java / Madura comprises 132,107sq. km/51,006 sq miles in area.
  
−
Along this journey, you will find places frequently visited by migratory flocks of birds, as well as those that make the area their home, through areas of wetlands and forests with yet other species of birds and wildlife. Continue on through the Piedmont with its river basins, and into some of the oldest, and tallest, mountains to be found in the eastern side of the United States. Across this entire expanse, expect to find many different types and species of birds and wildlife.  Some here from the beginning and some once thought to be gone that are being reintroduced such as Elk and Wolves.  
+
West Java is the home of the [[Gede Pangrango National Park]] with all it has to offer.
 +
====Kalimantan====
 +
Kalimantan with 539,460 sq. km/20,8286 sq miles in area, makes up 2/3 of the island of Borneo.

−
===Notable Species===
+
The female and male of this species can be determined, in part, by the color of the spots on their heads.   
−
For a state with 481 different species of birds reported according to eBird, it’d be very hard to pin down just a few “notable” species.  The sheer volume, and variety, of species seen, is notable in, and of, itself.   
 
  
−
To give you an idea, consider a cross-section of birds, as reported to eBird, that have been found to be abundant species present in North Carolina.
+
The female has yellow/creamy spots while the male has white spots.
  
−
Along the Outer Banks, in Dare County, the [[Tree Swallow]] and [[Snow Goose]] are the top two reported species
+
See the composite image for further clarification.
  
−
In Eastern North Carolina in Edgecombe County, the [[Red-winged Blackbird]] and [[Common Grackle]] top the list.  Further south in that region, Bladen County’s list is topped by the [[Ring-necked Duck]] and, again, the Red-winged Blackbird. 
 
  
−
Moving into the Piedmont Region of North Carolina you will again find the Red-winged Blackbird, as well as the Common Grackle, is abundant in the northern Piedmont county of Caswell.  In the southern portion of this region, the county of Stanly reports the [[Ring-billed Gull]] and [[American Coot]] have been seen in abundance.
 
  
−
And the mountainous, Western North Carolina region’s Ashe County, the Common Grackle has again been an abundantly seen species as has the [[European Starling]].  Rounding out this end of the state, two abundant species seen in Swain County are, once again, the Red-winged Blackbird and the [[American Robin]].

A listing of birding potential along the Mountains to the Sea Trail in [[North Carolina]] could easily be as long as the trail itself.  So since the trail goes through each of the four primary regions of the state, let’s try it this way.  Click on the name and link of the region in which you are interested.  Or, if you want, all of them, and read what’s already there in those articles for the categories of '''“Notable Species"''', '''“Rarities”''', and''' “Birds You Might See”''' checklist.

As the trail name implies, let's first start in the mountains.

====Western North Carolina====

{{GSearch|"Indonesia" {{!}} "Borneo"}}

First look at [[Western North Carolina]].  Enjoy that region to your heart’s content as the trail winds it's way through a rich and complex natural landscape.  And then move on as your journey is finished there.
+

{{VSearch|"Indonesia" {{!}} "Borneo"}}
  
−
====Piedmont Region of North Carolina====
 
−
Further east you'll come into the more agricultural lands of the [[Piedmont Region of North Carolina]].  Take in as many of the species of birds inhabiting this region as you can as you walk the trail, and when finished there venture on.
 
  
−
====Eastern North Carolina====
+
[[Category:Asia]] [[Category:Videos]]
−
As you come into the [[Eastern North Carolina]] region, you will begin to see an increasingly flatter, changing habitat indicative of a coastal plain, such as this.  As you travel further, enjoy the changing landscape and different species of birds you may see here.  But before you conclude your journey, be sure to take a ride across one of the sounds and waterways you will probably see/  Even more awaits you on the other side. 
 
  
−
====Outer Banks====
+
== Experiment With Dual Gsearch Coding ==
−
As you arrive on the [[Outer Banks]] your landscape will change to a region of sandy soil, sand dunes, marshes, and shorebirds, in addition to a myriad of wildlife.  Here you have the opportunity to experience a lot of different bird species, habitat, and pure enjoyment of nature. 
 
  
−
You will have covered, and discovered, a very large portion of what the state has to offer, as the trail name implies, from the Mountains to the Sea.

Collared Scops Owl

A resident breeder in the Indian sub continent, South Asia right into China, the Collared Scops Owl (Ottus lettia), family Stygidae is woodland Owl. It seems to be different enough form Indian Scops Owl Ottus bakkomoena, to merit a separate species rank. It has small éars'- (head tufts) and has s buffish body with streaks. The facial disc is whitish or buff, and the eyes are orange or brown. There is a buff neckband. Sexes are similar. The flight is deeply undulating.

This species is nocturnal but it can often be located by the small birds that mob it while it is roosting in a tree. It feeds mainly on insects. The call is a quiet goog gook.

This species is chiefly found in northern India and is replaced by the very similar looking Oriental Scops Owl Otus sunia (recently split) towards the south of its range. It is very similar also to the slightly smaller Indian Scops Owl, O. bakkamoena. They are most easily separated in the field by their calls. (source Per. Obs, Wikipedia). 'Italic text'

The Definition of Migration (in my words)

The definition of migration (in my words) is when an organism or group of organisms travel a distance to another part of the world, for one reason or another. Many of these organisms, such as many waterfowl, have "pit stops" on the way to their destination, which make good places for making observations on those animals.
