Naumann's Thrush, 2/20/2012

Three Naumann's Thrushes recently become the main focus in Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall area. Coming from the far north, such as Siberia, Northeast China, etc., rarely seen in Taiwan, and failed to completely evolve into Dusky Thrush, Naumann's Thrush looks like a rusted version of Dusky Thrush.


Hiding on the tree top most of the time,


Appeared only when starved


Appeared for a short time, then hide again on the tree top,
