"I also remember that summer of 2016, where in a month I was lucky to hear
elephants and see Malabar trogon for the first time! I ended up sighting
Malabar trogons again a couple of times, and immediately after, we saw some
dhole adults and pups who were feasting on a sambar by the river. I was
torn, where do I look? Up at the canopy, or down towards the dholes! I did
a bit of both."
