Mt. Mae-hwa, Hong-cheon, Gang-won province
foggy morning at Gang-won province.
Forests were silvicultured in various ways, and thanks to secondary vegitations growing at these opening, I got a bunch of scratch marks on my legs, face, and arms.
Barbed and thorned shrubs, berries.. they really bother.
Eurasian nutach, Despite of numerous reports on chinese nuthatches, showing irruptive migration,
I couldn't find any. Instead, there were plenty of these Eurasian nuthatches allong the day. some showed erratic behavior, feeding on seeds of grass at the middle of large forest openings. reminecent of typical buntings.
Another unexpected sightings were provied by these magnificent male Hazel grouses
there were several singing males all around the survey area, It was my first record of Hazel grouse's display and territorial songs. They reacted to the recorded playback songs immediately. Do they form strict territorries for winter? or starts mating from early fall? In my previous experience,although it is just a handfull , I heard mostof hazel grouse songs during spring seasons.
an immature male was also present at the site, along with singing adlut above.
Forest was entering Autumn, leaves were changing, Chipmunks were gathering winter foods.
white backed woodpeckers were abundant, feeding on snags and logs.
Yellow browed warblers were gleaning forest canopies, with few, silent arctic warblers.
there are bunch of other stories I've wnt through last month, I'll go on further
