Banded Broadbill (Eurylaimus javanicus friedmanni) - 20250209-09

Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.

Deep purplish-red broadbill with bold yellow patches on the wings and tail. Broad-based bill and irises are bright blue. Female is slightly duller than the male, and lacks a black line across the chest. Favors riparian and wet forests from the lowlands up into montane areas, and will visit edges, gardens, and parks. Forages in the canopy, often flying from a perch to do so. More vocal than Black-and-yellow Broadbill, giving long, drawn-out whistles and buzzing trills. (eBird)
------------
Our very first Asian Broadbill, it was exciting to not only see a broadbill but to see a bird from a new-to-us bird family as well. This male watched us from on high, flitting between branches periodically. This was on just our second day of birding in Thailand and was a good omen for the rest of the trip. You can clearly see why they are called "broadbills" with that massive blue bill.
