| 7/22-26/2012 A trip to the Tibetan Highlands via Xining, Datong, Qinghai Hu, and on to Tsaka (Caka) offered us some wonderful views and some great birds. A big thanks to Tang Jun, our guide who has amazing eyesight! A very weary Great Crested Grebe was being bothered by his/her young. It was fun to be so close and see the adult in breeding plumage. Also shown: Gansu Leaf Warbler , Gray-headed Bullfinch , White-browed Rosefinch study (m+f) , Sichuan Tit , White-cheeked Nuthatch , Eurasian Treecreeper , Elliot's Laughingthrush (and juvenile), Common Tern , Brown-headed Gull , Pallas's Gull , Chinese Nuthatch , and a Chestnut Thrush taking a bath! Also, Carrion Crow. |

The wild flowers were absolutely gorgeous. |
