| 4/1-11/12 Beautiful Taiwan: We were able to take a few days to bird with Wayne Hsu, a phenomenal birder in Taiwan. Thanks, Wayne! Shown: Mikado Pheasant , Taiwan Hill Partridge , and Swinhoe's Pheasant - light was very dim but we had fun trying for photos! The Flamecrest was a treat as was the Black-throated Tit flocks we ran into. Also shown: Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker pecking amidst the spring blooms. |
| 4/1-11/12 Beautiful Taiwan: a Johnstone's Robin (Collared Bush Robin), a Green-backed Tit along with a group of Steere's Liocichla who were fighting among themselves. A Spotted Nutcracker showed up as did a male Maroon Oriole. Malayan Night Herons were seen frequently as were Himalayan Black Bulbuls, and the Grey Treepie was downright friendly. We saw two Collared Finchbills and a pair of Coal Tits with nesting material while a Black Eagle soared overhead. Black Drongos were taking baths, Asian House Martins were gathering string for nests, but the Striated Swallows had already built theirs - in the living room of a kind man who left his house open so they could come and go as they pleased! Butterflies were everywhere. |
| 4/1-11/12 Beautiful Taiwan: White-whiskered Laughing Thrush , Taiwan Yuhina , Taiwan Sibia , more Taiwan Blue Magpie (see next page), a Taiwan Barwing and a distant Yellow Tit. Also, a Malayan Night Heron , a Chinese Bulbul (Light-vented Bulbul) , and a Common Myna. |
