I think it’s a Common Sandpiper (磯鷸). Note the white shoulder bit.

Instead of eating turkey on Christmas Day, I spent a few minutes lying on this campus lawn with a Malayan Night-heron (黑冠麻鷺).

The world is complex. Birds don’t have to be. Black Bulbul (紅嘴黑鵯). Fairly common, look out for their red bills/feet, and 👂 miaowing.

A confession: Despite really trying, I still don’t really understand #cricket 🏏. But I delight in seeing friends’ immense joy in the sport. Find a distraction. Celebrate other people’s harmless passions. It doesn’t have to be #birding.

Look. It’s not how *you* look. But how the #birds you look at look. #Taiwan Barwing (紋翼畫眉) A looker.

Turkeys are so last week (and end of month nonsense). Enjoy a Taiwan Bamboo-partridge (#台灣 竹雞) now. #onlyInTaiwan #birds

Oh dear, deer confusion. #Taiwan’s 3 #deer species. All native. Reeve’s Muntjac (Barking Deer 山羌) small, widespread) Sambar (水鹿). Only in high 🏔️ & on money. Sika (梅花鹿). Now only Kenting area. AND NOT A DEER: Taiwan Serow (台灣長鬃山羊) more closely related to antelope. Not a goat either! #mammals

Be mesmerized by something. Even if not a bird. (This IS a bird - a White-Whiskered Laughingthrush 金翼白眉. Easy to see in #Taiwan’s high mountains)

One bird I struggle to get good photos of is the black necklaced scimitar babbler. This is probably one of the better head-shots I have of this bird, one of two endemic species of scimitar babbler. #birds 🪶
A black necklaced scimitar babbler is foraging in the brush. Only it's head is really visible through the clutter of the gardens.

Maybe not the meaning of ‘bronzed’ you imagine. Bronzed Drongo (小卷尾) #birding

Trust me. There’s more to Taiwan than just birds, tasty food, and vibrant cultures. We also have #butterflies - such as Painted Jezebel (Delias hyparete luzonensis 紅紋粉蝶)

It’s fine to ask for help in identifying birds. It’s also okay to look for help in all other matters. (Yellow-bellied Bush-warbler 深山鶯)

Maybe my favorite bird of all those we saw in Taiwan was the Plumbeous Redstart. Its slate-gray body, rufous tail and fierce stare really captivated. #birding

One more... Oriental Magpie-Robin from Taipei, Taiwan. Is it a magpie or a robin? Is it even blue? #birding

Taiwan Blue Magpies on the road to Daxueshan National Forest Reserve, Taiwan. Y’all seem to love blue #birds :)
Teo Taiwan Blue Magpies perched on a concrete roadside barrier wall between red reflectors. They appear to look sideways at the camera.
