Mount Davis 14 Dec 2018 - Yellow-streaked Warbler

A sick leave today for the afternoon medical check, so I have a morning to bird.

I chose to visit Mount Davis for my third attempt of Yellow-streaked Warbler (fourth this year if including another birding spot) after a cup of Happy Gingerbread. Surprisingly, I was able to hear and see the bird once when I arrived the spot! I was alone today, not many bird photos taken but managed to take some recordings. No Russet Grasshopper Warbler today, only good views of several cute Yellow-browed Warbler and Japanese White-eye fifi at the same spot. And i suspected there was a Hume’s Warbler but the view was bad and did not hear a ‘safe’ IDable call or song.

Besides the target, a Radde’s Warbler was seen chasing the Yellow-streaked; two flying Common Emerald Dove and a Chinese Grosbeak, nothing mega but still a successful twitch at last.

The checklist of today: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S50650497

Yellow-streaked Warbler - the bill is really slimmer in field

Yellow-streaked Warbler - the yellow streaks on underpart are often hard to see, especially in field!

Yellow-streaked Warbler - to tell from Radde's Warbler still the best by call
