The northeastern wetlands, encompassing the Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake, offer a different kind of avian spectacle. Here, you can observe a wide variety of waterfowl, including ducks, herons, egrets, and storks. The flooded forests and grasslands provide a rich feeding ground for these birds, attracting migratory species from as far as Siberia.
