Scaly-sided Merganser on Birds Korea
By Charlie • January 6, 2010 • 4 commentsThe Birds Korea Latest News pages often have some staggeringly good photos of unusual (even by East Asian standards) birds, but check out the amazing photos of Scaly-sided Mergansers Mergus squamatus on there at the moment. This is a species that is rarely seen by western birders, and images like these are just sensational. And while you’re there check out the flying Falcated Duck which is mightily impressive too!













THanks for the pointer-stunning images.
Hmmm, you know Charlie, this is a nicely written pointer, but you should really have mentioned more directly that these images are sensational but NOTHING special for one of the best birding web sources on birds worldwide.
You’re right. I thought people might detect a little bias if I did that though - so much better coming from you
Hi Guys,
I came across an unusual nest recently at the Falls of the Ohio I believe was made by a Northern Oriole. It incorporates a lot of artificial materials. With all the birding experience on your site, am I right in guessing this to be an oriole’s nest and is it common for this bird to use such materials? I published my images on my artistatexit0 wordpress blog. Thanks in advance on any info. Al
