Mount Mahawu Before Dark Day 4 Part 6 (Post 17)

After enjoying a delicious lunch at the most charming restaurant in Tomohon, we’re off to explore Mount Mahawu!

We’re greeted with stunning views of Lake Tondano, one of the must-see spots in North Sulawesi.

As we hike along the main trail, we’re excited to spot a Grey-sided flowerpecker.

Not far away, we also see a Yellow-sided flowerpecker joining the fun on a flowering tree!

As we continue our trek, I come across a sign that leaves me a bit puzzled—no idea what it means!

With the daylight slipping away, we’re having a tough time capturing a good photo of a Citrine Canary-Flycatcher.

But we keep going, determined to catch a glimpse of any nocturnal birds that might be heading out to hunt. Our patience pays off when we spot a Sulawesi scops owl!

Encouraged by that find, we’re thrilled to discover a Speckled Boobook before wrapping up our adventure for the day.

Before I hit the sack, I attempt to snap a photo of the Milky Way as the background of my homestay, but unfortunately, the clouds have other plans that night!
