I have shared some of these photos elsewhere, so if you have seen them I apologize but thought some of the posters here might be interested as well. I was in Taipei, Taiwan in early August for 10 days and got a day to do a little birding. Was able to take some shots of some birds that we don't find around here.
First a Malayan Night Heron, first pic is an adult, second is a juvenile:

Also saw an Oriental Magpie Robin:

Lots of Black-crowned Night Herons, including many Juveniles which I hadn't seen before:

But the highlight was the Taiwan Barbet (aka the Five Coloured Bird):
