识别特征
The yellow-throated bunting (Emberiza elegans), also known as the elegant bunting, is a species of bird in the family Emberizidae. It is found in China, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Russia, and Taiwan. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical dry forests. Emberiza elegans follows Type II chain migration. Research on isotopes from feathers has revealed that northern populations begin migration before southern populations. Additionally, a latitudinal gradient in hydrogen isotopes suggest that northern breeders spend winters further north than their southern counterparts.

Silver-backed Needletail
Hirundapus cochinchinensis
A large, powerful swift, usually seen flying above montane forests. Similar in size and shape to White-throated Needletail and can be difficult to distinguish in poor lighting. At close range, grayish (rather than white) throat patch and a smaller, duller pale patch on the back are distinctive. If seen with White-throated, appears marginally smaller and less bulky, with a shorter-winged silhouette. Voice a thin, descending twitter.
Hispaniolan Emerald
Riccordia swainsonii
An inhabitant of moist montane woodlands including coffee plantations. The long-tailed male is distinctively entirely iridescent green and the base of the bill is red. The female is metallic green above, dingy white below, and has a relatively long, forked tail. The Antillean Mango is shorter tailed (wings just about even with tail tip when perched) and has a distinctly down-curved bill. The Vervain Hummingbird is much smaller and shorter billed than the Hispaniolan Emerald. Most common vocalization is a sharp “tic,” most often given in a prolonged series at about five “tics” per second.
Royal Spoonbill
Platalea regia
Conspicuous large white bird with a long, spoon-shaped bill, black facial skin, legs. Breeding adult develops long white plumes on the back of head. Often feeds in shallow wetlands, either singly or in small flocks. Submerges bill and makes a sweeping motion to feed.
