| 2/3/2012 Back in time a bit. Gongqing National Forest Park, China: White-rumped Munia flock came to play in a big way along with some of the usual suspects: Red-flanked Bluetail , light-vented Bulbul , Brambling , Grey Wagtail , Azure-winged Magpie , Pallas's Leaf Warbler , Chinese Grosbeak , Dusky Thrush , and Eurasian Blackbird. |

| 2/17/2012 A swift trip to Century Park when the sun came out yielded a Scaly Thrush (a study of one individual) and a Dusky Thrush flock (showing both subspecies naumanni ***(reddish) and eunomus (darker-spotted)) *** Reddish is now Naumann's Thrush. Found a beautiful bloom that promised Spring! |

| 2/18/2012 A trip down to the Dishui Lake area, China, on a sunny day provided decent pics of a Richard's pipit along with a Eurasian Skylark feeding nearby. We were treated to a Eurasian Sparrowhawk flyover and Great-crested Grebe and Black-necked Grebe swim-bys. Also shown, Daurian Redstart (f), Vega Gull , and a flock of Gadwall swimming in the sun. A gorgeous day! |
