[QUOTE="Dong Bei, post: 1822893, member: 76257"] [b]Jinzhou Bay and Country Club May 16, 2010[/b] Went to Jinzhou Bay today to find the place devoid of shorebirds! This is one of the best places nearby for Oystercatchers, plovers, stints, redshanks, stilts and everything else. There is some work being done there currently but not enough to scare everything off. I was left wondering if something happened to the water. The entire area is extremely polluted from factories, sewage, and a garbage dump. The sewage is usually a magnet for migrating shorebirds but today (May 16!) nothing. The only things there were a few plovers and a group of Yellow Wagtails. After this I went to the Country Club where migrant numbers are also trickling off. It's supposed to rain tonight and all day tomorrow so hopefully that brings some new things in. I'm attaching a picture that I took from a fast moving car of something new called "demountainization". The terms deforestation, desertification and the like have long been in existence. This is something new altogether. Basically it involves taking down mountains piece by piece and then throwing them into the ocean to create new development zones. And here we thought the sea levels were rising from glacial melt! Total list from today, the majority from the Country Club: Common Pheasant Mallard Spot-billed Duck Great Spotted Woodpecker Common Kingfisher Oriental Cuckoo Oriental Turtle Dove Whimbrel Green Sandpiper Common Greenshank Black-tailed Gull Eurasian Kestrel Chinese Egret Cattle Egret Chinese Pond Heron Striated Heron Brown Shrike Black-naped Oriole (heard only) Eye-browed Thrush Asian Brown Flycatcher White-cheeked Starling Barn Swallow Red-rumped Swallow Yellow-browed Warbler Arctic Warbler Vinous-throated Parrotbill Yellow Wagtail Olive-backed Pipit Oriental Greenfinch Black-faced Bunting Chestnut Bunting Meadow Bunting [/QUOTE]
