We are delivering you the bird photographs of winter forest in Bogd Mountain Manjushri, Zaisan, Sanzai, Terelj National Park and Gatsuurt.
The spotted nutcracker (Nucifraga caryocatactes) is the noisiest bird in the silence winter forest. The spotted nutcracker is a dark brown, broad-winged, short-tailed corvid. Body plumage is mid to dark chocolate brown, heavily spotted with white on face, neck, mantle and underparts. Due to its same color with trees, they can not easily found in forest.
However, you can observe it when they feeding at the top of the trees. A long, narrow beak is adopted to eat the seed of pine nut. Interestingly, spotted nutcracker have bag under its tongue and carry out some pine nuts.
This is Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) is colorful and beautiful bird, occurring over a vast region from Western Europe and north-west Africa to the India and further to the eastern seaboard of Asia and down into south-east Asia. They pick up the leftover foods of people travelling in the forest and sit on tree branches and eat.
They are really love to eat pine nut. I found them while they were eating nuts at camps of people who were harvesting pine nut.
The Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) is well known for its mimicry, often sounding so like a different species that it is virtually impossible to distinguish its true identity unless the jay is seen. Here you can watch the Eurasian jay mimics a meowing cat video.
The Siberian jay (Perisoreus infaustus) is a jay found in north Eurasia. They are store food and live year-round on permanent territories in coniferous forests.The Siberian Jay is known to wilderness travelers as a very inquisitive and fearless species, which can be seen near camps and fires and even take food if such is left nearby.
The red crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) usually appears at the top of pine, larch, spruce, pine and coniferous trees. Adult males tend to be red or orange in colour, and females green or yellow, but there is much variation.
The other sub species is the two-barred crossbill (Loxia leucoptera). Females tend to be green or yellow.
They have distinctive mandibles, crossed at the tips, which enable them to extract seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.
In our forested mountains, the most beautiful bird that can be seen is the hazel grouse (Tetrastes bonasia). They live in depths of the forest far from human. Thus, it's hard to see this bird. However, bird investigators can easily find them.
The hazel grouse essentially has grey upperparts, brown wings and chestnut flecked white underparts.
If look closely, it was not just a brown, it has exotic and fascinating colors (this photo was taken in last spring at Khentii aimag). It is hard to describe that beautiful birds with words and I hope that you will agree.
