A much-too-brief account of a long journey—6 birders spent 33 days seeking each of the endemic families, and nearly every endemic bird species in Madagascar; and using virtually every mode of transport to do so. Out of 110 fully endemic and 25 regional near-endemic birds, the team managed all but 5 species! Even more—the parade of rare mammals and endemic reptiles seemed endless. Steve Gast will share photos of the many birds and animals, along with experiences from the first ever marathon Mad Mega-tour of Madagascar.
