As a rule, the pheasants of Asia are extremely elegant, sometimes almost beyond imagination. I think that the Siamese Fireback is one of the most handsome birds I have ever seen. It’s a forest bird, and very difficult to see well. But if one is patient and wait in one of the hides in Cat Tien, one has a fair chance.
