The Garden of Eden (Foya Mountains, Indonesia)

[david taylor <>]

I'm going on memory on the exact species name , but how awesome was  
the courtship display of the male black sickle-billed bird of paradise!
Was that the correct species?

Yes what a truly incredible place - personally made me feel good that  
such a place still exists on planet earth.
cheers
