Great photos!!! Having the chance to get these kind of photos of one of the rarest birds on the planet is special--it's much more than just another number on a life list. Cheers, David -

Indeed it was a pleasure to meet up with Dave 2x and it was a good day of birding even if there weren't as many migrants as we hoped for. I gained a lot of respect for folks like Dave who can get onto a bird instantly while hand holding hefty photo gear. That Black Bittern was only in sight a... -

I wish I could take credit for the find but it was another birder who first saw it 20 meters south of the big crowd waiting for the Baillon's Crake. Granted a female Common Rosefinch isn't a very flashy bird but only 1 or 2 of the large crowd of photographers waiting for the Crake bothered to... -

As usual some great photos Dave. I went back to Yehliu on Sunday hoping to see the Baillon's Crake. I arrived at 8 am on the upper trail where it was showing Saturday but I just missed it and even though I waited untill 10 am it didn't show again. The early bird got the worm and I didn't get... -

I made a trip to Yehliu and Jinshan today--there was a ton of photographers and birdwatchers for the middle of the week at Yehliu. I didn't see or hear of others seeing the Baillon's crake today or the rumored Orange-headed Thrush but there were some good birds including Ruddy Kingfisher moving... -

There is still hope for the Guishan trip--I was also on the waiting list but got called a couple of days ago. I've never been to Guishan Island but the part of not landing if the seas are too rough is a little off-putting. Anyway I'm free most weekends as well as weekdays for birding now since... -

Dave, I'm always amazed at the photos you get. I was at Yehliu a day previous to you and felt lucky just to get a glimpse of the male Japanese Paradise-Flycatcher nevertheless a photo. I think I saw the Chinese egrets also but with no scope I couldn't confirm so I'll have to wait for another... -

There was a Chinese Penduline-Tit today (the 28th) at HuaJiang Bridge Park in Taipei. Unfortunately I'm still learning the ropes on my new camera and wasn't able to get a photo of this energetic bird but lots of other folks did--word got around fast. Don't know how long it will stay around but... -

Tried for the Yellow Bunting again today and was successful after a 3 and a half hour wait. For those who might be in the Taipei area the next few days it might be worth a trip to Huajiang Wild Duck Sanctuary. For the last few days it has come out in close view some 30 meters east of the large... -

Dave looks like you had a busy weekend--congrats on the White-browed Crake. Since I sold my car when I retired a few years ago I must wait for an opportunity with TWBS for most of my Southern Taiwan birding. I went after the Yellow Bunting today at Huajiang but I dipped. I found the group of... -

Dave thanks for your posting of the imm. Siberian Crane sighting. I went out yesterday the 20th hoping this rarity was still around and with luck it still was but maybe in a different location than your photos--yesterday it was by the 7-11 parking lot with a gaggle of 6 or 7 photographers...
