Secretive, handsome endemic pheasant of Taiwan’s mountains. Male slaty blue from nape to flanks, with contrasting white upper back, brown mantle, and dark gray wings; female mostly rich brown with pale markings above. Both sexes have red facial skin, more extensive in male. Forages quietly in pairs in the forest understory, occasionally along forest edge on trails or roads. Both sexes give subtle clucking calls and a high-pitched squeaky alarm call. Male has white in tail and back, unlike Mikado Pheasant; female distinguished by richer plumage tones, broader tail, pale bill, reddish legs, and unmarked underparts. [Ebird]

– 这次到台湾不是主要为鸟。可是还是利用有的时间，机会看看，拍拍鸟。在大雪山回程时，停在17年前（朋友带过我们到这，他也让我知道。这鸟还在，就不是很活跃因为台湾不允许喂食。所以鸟也不常来了）

在这遇上fb 朋友 （红冠），他可是台湾鸟导。与他在哪谈了一会，突然他的客人。叫我们“过来，过来。。“。过去看到这漂亮的特有种。1雄3雌在哪活动了好几分钟。

– 雌鸟很少很漂亮。这鸟很不一样，母鸟真的很美。

4. Spoon-billed Sandpiper, 勺嘴鹬, 琵嘴鷸, Calidris pygmaea, ヘラシギ

Critically endangered, highly distinctive stint with spatulate bill tip that can be difficult to spot at a distance when held in profile. A coastal mudflat specialist, it stays close to wet and muddy areas near or in water, unlike Red-necked Stint, which often feeds in much drier areas. Breeding adults have a rusty head that resembles that of Red-necked, but the head tends to be darker and the rusty color extends farther down the breast. Nonbreeding adults and juveniles lack the rusty head, have prominent fine stripes on the crown, dark ear patch, and are overall paler than Red-necked. Flight call a soft “prreee.” [Ebird]

勺嘴鹬是鸻形目鹬科勺嘴鹬属鸟类， ^[20]又叫匙嘴滨鹬、匙嘴鹬、琵嘴鹬、篦鹬。 ^[21]腿短；头圆；喙短而前端呈勺状。眉纹白色；虹膜褐色；喙黑色；脚黑色； ^[22]上身主要为黑色，有皮黄色至淡赤褐色的羽缘；下体白色。繁殖期成鸟头、颈及胸均为红棕色并带暗褐色纵纹，非繁殖期成鸟淡褐灰色及覆羽具有白色羽缘。
