As we’ve worked our way around SE Asia I’ve been keeping track of my birds (as you know). I had specific goals for each country … for Vietnam it was 70 new birds (we saw 99!). For Cambodia it was 30 new birds. I knew it would be tough because we would be sharing the same birds with Vietnam. I scaled it back and I’m glad I did … we saw a total of 60 different kinds of birds in Cambodia but only 28 new ones.
However, they were all really nice birds! Here are a few of our favorite ones from around Angkor Wat … The Tonle Sap post has the other birds.
Here is the Hill Myna … a beautiful bird.
These are red-breasted parakeets … the male has the orange beak and the female has the blue-black beak. 
This is the Alexandrine parakeet … notice the yellowish undertail.
This is the Blue Rock Thrush … the patterns on its feathers were amazing. Beautiful.
Here’s another few pictures of the Red-breasted parakeet. 
Finally, this is the Ashy Drongo … we saw several kinds of Drongos in Vietnam … we saw this guy for the first time in Cambodia. Notice the long, fork tail.
They were beautiful birds in Cambodia … and they were more numerous than in Vietnam. On to Laos!
