Think this will help in giving you more fun in bird watching and identification.   nelson Logged Hendrix BBS Member BBS God I love wings!     Gender: Posts: 1001 Re: What is this two bird « Reply #2 on: Jul 21st, 2003, 11:33pm » Quote Modify The first one is look like a Bunting   but the tail is special     the sec one is like female Magpie Robin   but the color more brown Logged www.look.hk welcome you Nelson Guest Re: What is this two bird « Reply #3 on: Jul 21st, 2003, 11:42pm » Quote Modify Remove Hi,   You are getting close! 1. aside from bunting, sparrow also show conical bill. And most bunting are winter visitor, it is a bit too early for them. 2. Aside from female, please think about juvenile at this time of the year. Most residents are breeding. You may pay attention to the color of the gape. Most young birds have yellow gape. Sincerely hope this kind of research will add more interest to your bird watching.   nelson Logged Hendrix BBS Member BBS God I love wings!     Gender: Posts: 1001 Re: What is this two bird « Reply #4 on: Jul 22nd, 2003, 12:15am » Quote Modify Thanks     I also think 1 is a kind of sparrow, but what kind of sparrow have forked tail Logged www.look.hk welcome you Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得 => Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
