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]

update 202312

– finish my Taiwan trip last 10days ago and now finish Sumatra, 2023 going to end… a busy year and another busy year coming… what’s everyone plan ?

– a casual trip to Taiwan, spend some of the time for birding and while going down from DaxueShan (大雪山), stop by ~17 years ago spot and update by local birder the bird can be found there but not very promising due to no feeding allow policy apply. But I am just walk up and down birding at the famous 23.5k got some birds and meet up Kuan-Chieh Hung (Taiwan Bird guide) with guests. After some chit chat session, one of the guesst say .. come come come .. which not really at casual location. 1 male and 3 female relaxing for more than 5 minutes

– 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。

分布:繁殖于俄罗斯的东、西伯利亚和蒙古国,越冬在印度尼西亚至澳大利亚一带。在我国是旅鸟,途经内蒙古、黑龙江以及南部的福建、台湾、广东等各省区。小杓鹬全长约30厘米,属于小型涉禽。

嘴长而向下弯曲,呈肉红色,仅端部为褐色。头上具有明显的冠纹,中央的冠纹为皮黄色,两侧的冠纹为黑色。穿眼而过的是一条黑褐色的贯眼纹,眼睛的上方还有一条白色的眉纹。上体是黑褐色,并有皮黄色的羽缘,形成明显的斑驳状,胸部和前颈呈皮黄色,也夹杂着细的黑褐色条纹,腹部白色,两胁都具有黑褐色的横斑。由于数量稀少,被我国列为国家二级保护动物。

小杓鹬通常栖息在沼泽、水田、草地及海岸地带。它们平时大多单独或小群活动,但迁徙和越冬时也同其他鹬类集成较大的群体。在海边,每当潮水退后,它们就到被潮水淹没过的滩涂上觅食,涉水于浅滩淤泥中,啄食昆虫、小鱼、小虾和软体动物等,有时也吃些藻类、草籽和其他植物种子。

51. 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。
