Birds News from Jason Loghry with Diego Montalvo and Will West<\/p>\n
Starting our morning before dawn, we were greeted first by sunrise watchers and early morning hikers. It was a gorgeous clear morning, and a Saturday, so it was no surprise to see so many folks up and out so early. The first birds of the morning were Grey-streaked Flycatchers<\/strong>, which added up to 12 birds by our finishing time. After those first flycatchers, we started to see a few Chinese Sparrowhawk<\/strong>. At around 7am, we spotted our first big flock of 52 together, flying over the hill towards the sea. Then for about an hour we saw a few Northern Hobby<\/strong> (10 for the day), a Peregrine Falcon<\/strong>, and a few Large-billed Crow<\/strong>. Finally at 8am, a second by flock of 60+ Chinese Sparrowhawk flew over. We had a total of only 131 Chinese Sparrowhawk by noon. By ten o’clock, we were seeing very few birds. At noon, we finished. Other interesting species include Japanese Sparrowhawk<\/strong> (1), Arctic Warbler<\/strong> sensu lato<\/em> (5), Barn Swallow<\/strong> (8), Asian Brown Flycatcher<\/strong> (2), Grey-headed Woodpecker<\/strong> (1) and Great-spotted Woodpecker<\/strong> (1). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Birds News from Jason Loghry with Diego Montalvo and Will West Starting our morning before dawn, we were greeted first by sunrise watchers and early morning hikers.
