Daurian Starling
Agropsar sturninus
Small, strongly migratory starling; common on its wintering grounds, but localized when breeding, and often difficult to find when on migration. Male dark above, white below, but intricately patterned, with shades of violet, green, and orange in wings. Female has similar general pattern but brown above, grayish below. Prefers open areas between forests and meadows but feeds in open agricultural fields as well, often gathering in immense flocks.
识别特征
The Daurian starling is distinguished from other starling species by its dark mantle and crown and narrow wing bars.
分类信息
The Daurian starling was previously placed in the genus Sturnus. It was moved to the resurrected genus Agropsar based on the results of two molecular phylogenetic studies that were published in 2008.

Ferruginous Babbler
Pellorneum bicolor
Reddish-brown babbler with white underparts. General appearance resembles White-chested Babbler but much more warmly-colored. Forages in small flocks in the lower and middle levels of lowland and lower foothill forests. Gives a loud, explosive “chew-WIT!” and various chattering and rasping notes.
Bearded Vulture
Gypaetus barbatus
Breathtakingly majestic inhabitant of high and remote mountain ranges, where they build large nests on cliff ledges or in caves. Even as a distant speck, this is an unmistakable raptor, with an almost albatross-like wing shape and span, coupled with a long diamond-shaped tail. Adults are orange-rust below with a dark underwing, and slate gray above. The young are gray with a dark head. Cruises along ridgetops on flat wings, sometimes arched downwards.
White-crested Laughingthrush
Garrulax leucolophus
Stunningly white peaked crest, combined with a thin dark mask and russet-brown body, makes this laughingthrush an otherworldly beauty. Flocks travel through primary forest, second growth, and gardens, giving loud, querulous, and jabbering calls as they forage. Sometimes bursts into a deafening whooping chorus out of nowhere. A common cage bird; feral populations have established themselves in some locations, such as Singapore.
