 Grey
Faced Buzzard Watching.
Weighing less than a kilogram but with a wingspan
of up to 115 cm, the Grey Faced Buzzard sure can fly.
They normally live in northeastern China, northern
Japan and Russia, but to escape the freezing winter,
they travel to southeast Asia each year at the beginning
of October. On the way south and also on the way back
north in March and April, they pass Changhua��s Bagua
Mountain Range, attracting flocks of bird watchers.
Young grey faced buzzards have vertical markings on
their chest, which turn horizontal when they become
adult birds. Females also have markings over their
eyes, which look like eyebrows.
In addition to grey faced buzzards, other animals
in Bagua Mountain can be seen as well - monkeys, treepies,
bulbuls and various varieties of frogs.
People used to farm fruit trees up here, but they
needed to get down the mountain to barter rice and
salt, so this was the path they took, this is an ancient
path. In the old days, indigenous people lived here,
but when the Chinese came, fights broke out and territorial
problems came up, so there were times when the Chinese
got beheaded by aborigines here, and that��s why it
was called ��Murder Ditch.��
Speaking of things to do outdoors in Changhua, a visit
to one of the many dairy farms is always fun too.
You know what would go great with milk? Longan cupcakes.
Or if you prefer something savory, meat pies held
together by a thick and chewy glutinous skin made
from sweet potato powder is really good too.
I cycle up there a lot. I didn��t even realize there
were trails up there.
Yeah, apparently there were quite a few.
Also, they took the time to put the names on the trees,
that was really nice. You know what else I liked about
that? The hikers. The hikers, they always stop and
talk to you. The old guys on the trail - they��re really
great.
