Formosa Birding: 2610 Tataka

TATAKA -
The Tsao aboriginal language to describe this flat prairie at the Jade mountain saddle area, which also my sanatorium in summer times.

Met lots of birders over there last weekend, ren, I-Yun, Simon, Jo Ann, Peter….etc.

Tawny Owl is the target bird in every summer night in this area, but unfortunately I didn’t catch it well in last weekend.:

Just chat with the guys on MSN, mentioned that I-Yuntook the day-time shots of the Tawny Owl, which inspired us with two main issues to play with Tawny Owl:

a. Never go bath.

b. Never go toilet.

These two main issues really a big jokes because the Tawny Owl shown in the middle of the road while everybody’s not in the camp site doing the above mentioned two main issues.

By the way, thanks to Eric'sgirl friend and I-Yun wife to hold the spot lights for us during the night hours.

I planned to take shots of those beautiful starry night sky but once again I’ve been knocked off by the freeze night air and downward eyelids, the only thing I can do was laid there watch it with occasionally passed by falling star..

But I did took some marvelous morning scenery shots here. ~

Coal Titat theTataka tourist centerstill so friendly but I guessed that I got there too late to have the good light condition in those shots.

We’ve collected oneVerreaux Bush Warblerchick from the tourist, who found it on the road side. I tried to relocating it’s nest position but found it very difficult, which probably the tourist gave us the wrong position. Anyway, . Hugowill brought it to the TESRI on his way back home, where they can took care of it properly.
