male, adult
This is one of endemic subspecies of Taiwan and considered as one of must species for bird photographer. I have seen this species many times but failed to have a nice shoot. Finally, I saw this particular male living near my apartment and I was pursuing this bird for a week. This morning was slightly rained but I was lucky to have a nice shot of this overall blue feather and beak but a black nap and a black line divided neck and chest. The lower underpart is grey/white color. It also makes loud and pretty sound.

This (common myna) is an introduced species for Taiwan but it is well equipped for urban and country living. This birds is a common sight in Taiwan lowland. The white band on the wing marks the myna from other birds. This species is also known for imitation of human voice, so it is kept for pet bird.

Usually I saw this bird in the water but this eurasian coot appeared in the river bank, out of mangrove. I noticed the unique toe structure associated with this species, not the web but enlargement of each digit segment.

adult, winter plummage
This is a very large water bird and distributes widely in Asia and Europe, a counterpart of blue heron in North America. Always near the fresh water area, either river or lake. It looks blue when it took a flight, but it looks grey with black patches when it stands near the water, unlike blue heron with blue patch on the head and shoulder. The bill look more rosy-yellow on both beaks.

These birds are fairly sized with a distinct yellow skin around the eyes. As other starlings, it usually stay on the ground looking for food, so it is easy to photograph them. They usually appeared as a small group or a pair of birds.

female, adult, winter plummage
Once upon the time, this is the most abundant species when I was a boy in this island. Now, overhunting for food in China reduces this species into endangered list. This morning, I spot this female yellow-breasted bunting perched on a comb of reed seeds to plug the seeds. I was able to approach within 3 meters to take this photo.
