| 8/24/12 North of Rudong, China: After a day of mud and shorebirds, it was exciting to see a Red-necked Phalarope swimming about a small inland pool near the coast. The bird was quite tame though very active. We would have stayed longer but the light was fading due to sunset. Also seen: Yellow-rumped Flycatcher , Bull-headed Shrike (a number of juvs.) and an Asian Brown Flycatcher pair. |
