ChangKyoungGung Spring lake (Seoul)

It was a wonderful Spring day here in Seoul. Upon enjoying one of the many Korean Palaces, we came across a small lake where it seems there were dozens of Mandarin Duck that called that place home. Such amazing ducks.

I enjoyed the various birds found in their suitable habitats. God is so creative with their different colors, flight patterns, and calls.

Spring is on its lil merry way. Lots of avian activity due to the spring-like weather...I'm not complaining at all. These probably will be some of my last posts in Korea...My wife and I leave at the end of April.

It was nice to stretch the legs and walk around the LAKE today. The weather was generally overcast and the lake somehow(?) overflowed into some surrounding rice fields giving a lot of birds extra feeding activities.

Coal Tit & Korean Red Squirrel

It was a slow day at Dobongsan. I was quite amused by a playful Coal Tit & a Korean Red Squirrel. Two squirrels were quite busy manufacturing nests (one used brown burlap-the other used twigs in a tree hollow).

It was quite a treat to watch a Tufted Duck couple dive close to where I had positioned myself...Jesus is very creative to say the least. On another note, how predictable am I, as compared to the mannerisms of the 'Divers'?

Uiwang Lake

It was a super day at Uiwang, despite the fact that my camera decided to freak out (time to see if Canon A/S can fix it). Massive numbers of Mallard, Spot-billed, Bean Goose, Greater White-Fronted Goose and Eurasian Teal. Highlights of the day were a Northern Goshawk feeding and 2 Red-billed starlings (a personal first).
