Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
I hope you are able to enjoy a zongzi (粽子) this holiday. Who’s wrapped in these bamboo leaves?

A Forest Banquet.
A couple days late, but still worth sharing. The Forestry Bureau (林務局 FB/TWforest) encourages us to leave nature to its own new year feast.
Who do you recognize?

We’ll have Fire-breasted Flowerpeckers (紅胸啄花鳥) in September.
Taiwan Forestry Bureau (#林務局) calendar.
The Forestry Bureau’s (#林務局) 2021 calendar is on sale now - and will probably sell out very quickly.
See their website or Facebook page (in Chinese only...) for where to purchase.
October’s Jay and Formosan Striped #squirrel.
This calendar transports us to the superb Shei-Pa Nat Pk (雪霸國家公園 #SPNP). Home to Snow Mountain (雪山, accessed from Wuling Farm 武陵農場), and Daba (大霸尖山) shown here and on the NT$ 500 bill.
The landlocked salmon are easier to see than this Tawny Fish Owl (黃魚鴞)!!!
This is one of the proposals for a new #Taiwanese passport (we need a new design).
Of course I’m happy to see a Mikado Pheasant in between a Sambar Deer, Formosan Black Bear, and cherry blossoms.
