New Guinea: What I did and what I saw... http://www.thebirdsofparadise.org/thebirdsofparadise.org/Journal_entries.html The title above is borrowed from a New Guinea exploration classic of the same name by the Italian explorer Luigi D’Albertis. One of my more memorable field seasons was my first trip to the Crater Mountain area in 2000. Below are some images from that trip excepts from my field journal. Images © 2006 Edwin Scholes III.
