Good morning to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Yesterday (Hong Kong time zone) afternoon, I saw a rarely seen bird for the second time in years - Black-throated Laughingthrush. This time of the year, there are lots of Pacific Swifts zooming about in the sky around my area in the New Territories of Hong Kong. From time to time, Black Kites do make fly-bys in our neighbourhood, too. These days, I notice that the Chinese Blackbirds have changed locations so they are not so easily seen these days.
I saw the Greater Sage Grouse for the first time this year. They suddenly appeared, I'm not sure where they came from. We watched them for an hour or so then they left as suddenly as they appeared. It is so cool to watch them.
They are such cool birds! They start out as looming shadows moving silently through the sage brush and then as the sun comes up they start their show. So fascinating!
I've just arrived in Lithuania. Amazing wetland,forest habitat here. I come here yearly as my Wife is Lithuanian and we've a Thrush Nightingale near our house. Incredible song! So far today I've seen Marsh and Icterine Warbler,Penduline Tit,Red Backed Shrike and national Bird the White Stork 🙂
That's awesome! Sharp-tailed Grouse are very cool! I hope to see those with a better view soon as they were hidden by tall grass the last time I encountered them.

That’s awesome! Congrats on the Laughingthrush that’s super cool!

Thank you so much! Hope you get to see them one day!

Wow that sounds amazing! I can't wait to travel the world someday and see it's birds!
Great species, those sage grouse, thanks for sharing!👍
They are incredible! Thanks for watching!
If you love the Sage Grouse you will really love seeing Greater Prairie Chickens from a blind.
That would be amazing! Hopefully I can see them soon!
Super early birding, pays off! Nice one
It does indeed! Thanks for watching!
The Greater Sage Grouse was super cool! And a bluebird too??? Great video and day of birding
A great morning of birding! Thanks for watching!
Madrona marsh in Torrance California has black crowned night herons
That's awesome! I'll have to check it out!
Very cool!
Thank you!!
Greater sage grouse are almost a myth up here!! There is a tiny population in the province and i'm pretty sure I would pass out or cry if I saw one
Sending you Greater Sage-Grouse luck!! 🍀
I’ve seen and photographed Greater Sage-Grouse at 2 Leks in OR. I have also seen Gunnison Sage-Grouse in CO. Fun but yes early morning starts.
Wow that's incredibly lucky to have seen both!
I've never seen a greater sage-grouse, but I have seen a sharp-tailed grouse in Nebraska.
That's awesome! Sharp-tailed Grouse are very cool! I hope to see those with a better view soon as they were hidden by tall grass the last time I encountered them.
really wish i have seen one i live in the range but with habitat loss they are really rare
Sending you Greater Sage-Grouse luck!!
The SageGrouse are so odd👍👍👍
They are definitely unique!
when and where did you see those
I saw them in mid-May in Northern Utah, in Cache County!
