Hello fellow birders,
Just thought I would a drop a "hello" from China, and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Enjoyable Christmas Bird Count!
Things are going well here in Jinshitan, and we are looking forward to the Chinese New Year break in mid-January, where we hope to visit Southeast Asia on the way home to B.C. for a couple of weeks. I have certainly enjoyed reading about the local bird sightings.
Here are some random recent bird pictures from this side of the ocean.
