Bird News from Jason Loghry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite all the mosquito bites, this late afternoon was well-spent. First, I re-visited a site near the Nakdong River where recently I had observed Red-billed Starling<\/strong>. It turns out there are at least three breeding pairs<\/em> at this site. Although they were nesting near a tree at a school, a few seemed bothered that I was observing them. To avoid disturbing them any more than I already had, I cut my visit short. There were plenty of Tree Sparrows<\/strong> to keep them company and down the road were a pair of White-cheeked Starling<\/strong> to keep me company.<\/p>\n

Ambitious to find a bittern, I headed to the riverside, where I instead found quite a few juvenile Bull-headed Shrike<\/strong>, many singing Far Eastern Cisticola<\/strong>, many more singing Oriental Reed Warbler<\/strong>, several Barn Swallow<\/strong>, a few Eastern Spot-billed Duck<\/strong> (including one with ducklings), five Black-crowned Night Heron<\/strong>, a Striated Heron<\/strong>, a few Grey Heron<\/strong>, a few Common Pheasant<\/strong>, and a Coot<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

As part of my seemingly never-ending early summer search for Von Schrenck’s at the Nakdong, I spent the last hour of sunlight observing a small pond spread full of aquatic plants, bordered with reeds and tall grass. After only a few minutes, a familiar song grew from faint to loud. Suddenly, a Ruddy-breasted Crake<\/strong> appeared. Overwhelmed with awe, I watched and listened until it disappeared into the dusk.<\/p>\n
