Over the years, bird watchers and bird photographers learn to identify many birds by their songs and calls. When I hear a song or call I have never heard before, I will try to locate the bird if possible in the hopes of seeing a new bird. Here are some of the birds I have photographed this month. Their songs are often quite beautiful, and sometimes startling. The recordings are all taken from the site, Bird Research Sound Collection of Japan.
The Chinese Bamboo Partridge sounds like it is saying, “Look at me! Look at me!” over and over.
Exotic is right. It also means an invasive or nonnative species. Perhaps you have seen the Red-billed Leiothrix in Hawaii?
