    Recs for India in Late November?

    Thanks for your insight, Bruce. At this point we've settled on Assam (Kaziranga and around) but are already looking forward to planning a second trip that will include Corbett. I was not aware of Haridwar but will add it to our list. Much appreciated!

    Recs for India in Late November?

    @temmie: tremendously helpful intel - much appreciated. I was unaware of the possibility for Leopard so close to Jaipur, but will certainly add Jhalana to our itinerary!

    Recs for India in Late November?

    Japanese white-eye, lowland white-eye or something else?

    Agree with Swinhoe's White-eye, which is far and away the expected species in and around Taipei. Warbling White-eye occurs only at a couple of coastal sites and on outer islands, and there are no Lowland White-eye records on Taiwan proper, only on Lanyu.

    Masked/Black-faced Bunting - Taipei, Taiwan; 3/25/2023

    Hi all, looking for some help with identification of two buntings observed a couple of days ago in an agricultural area on the outskirts of Taipei. The male in particular struck me as significantly yellower below than most of the Black-faced Buntings I'm used to seeing around Taipei. I was also...
