My little neck of the woods here is a place called Kin-Cho (Cho means town). Kin is even mentioned in several English language birding books, it's just that good of a place! I even have American and European birders asking me about visiting Kin. I guess being I live here, I take it for granted a bit, But the past two days have been quite thrilling, I picked up Water Rail on the 16th, and yesterday (17th) A lifer, Baillon's Crake, not just a glimpse, long views, I watched him for an hour getting several decent photos. Add to this, the Lesser White-Fronted Goose from November, wow, all this in a small town. No wonder I love Kin!:t:
