Yeah, we got great looks at the swamphens and also had Mottled Ducks , Gray Kingbird , Yellow-crowned Night-Heron , baby Common Gallinules , and Black-necked Stilts but the lack of a Least Bittern was indicative of Carlos’s inability to get the truly hard birds. And could we just do a quick drive through at a fast food joint?

Sadly, the numbers of Falcated Duck are similarly declining – it is thus listed as Near Threatened. This is partly due to hunting in China, where about 90% of the species winter (HBW). Like fast food, but free and likely more healthy. And it does not even live in reeds.
