2P-TOMEK X -Walka Z Wiatrakami.Vp:Corelventura Passeriformes from North Korea 101 Measurements (7specimens of the collection ZIP, 1 specimen of the collection MZB, 1 specimen of the collection ISEA): 7%% x ?sex ?sex wing 68-74 71.5 71 70 tarsus 15-21 17.6 17 17 bill 9-12 11.0 11 9.2 tail 43-52 47.3 43 46 Common breeding species and passage migrant. Observed from 3 Apr till 8 Sep. Mid-May the Yellow-rumped Flycatcher starts breeding and leaves for wintering at the end of Aug (FIEBIG 1995), meaning that birds seen in May, Jun and Jul are part of the breeding fauna. Nesting, apart from the nest found in Opha (WON Hong-Koo 1965) and Kaesong (PERTWEE, pers.comm), is indicated by: mating behavior of adult birds, food gathering and records of fledglings (TOMEK 1985, FIEBIG 1995). I observed the earliest family flock 5 Jun 1987 in Ponghwari. The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher was most frequently seen in hilly and forested areas as well as in city parks (FIEBIG 1995, my obser- vations). The Yellow-rumped Flycatcher is a breeding species in bordering territories: common in South Korea (WON Pyong-Oh 2000), fairly common in China (CHENG Tso-Hsin 1987) and abundant in Primorye (POLIVANOV 1981, NECHAEV 1998a). Only on the Japanese Islands it is an accidental visitor (MORIOKA 2000), where it is replaced by the Narcissus Flycatcher, which on the continent is very rare. 301. Ficedula narcissina (TEMMINCK, 1835) Narcissus Flycatcher Data: Pyongyang (I): Ryongaksan (I-10): 15 May 1950 (WON); Pyongan North (III): Myohyangsan (III-24): 12 May 1950 (WON); Hamgyong North (VI): Alsom (VI-6): 12 May 1961 (WON); Kangwon (VIII): Kumgangsan (VIII-8): 12 Jun 1949 (WON); Hwanghae South (X): Kuwolsan (X-6): 11 Apr 1999 (DUCK). Vagrant. Till now only 5 rec- ords in North Korea, of these 4 were during spring migration. There is 1 record of the Narcis- sus Flycatcher during breeding season (12 Jun 1949) and on that basis WON Hong-Koo (1965) as well as O Hung-Dam (1988) as- sume that there may be nesting in the central part of the penin- T. TOMEK 102 sula. The Narcissus Flycatcher is a common breeding species on the Japanese Islands (DISTRIB. 1981, MORIOKA 2000). It is also present, but only during migration, along the central and southern coasts of China (CHENG Tso-Hsin 1987, MACKINNON &PHILLIPS 2000). However the migrating route by-passes the Korean Peninsula since in both Primorye and South Korea this species appears very rarely (LABZYUK et al. 1971, NECHAEV 1998a, LEE Woo-Shin & RHIM Shin-Jae 1998, WON Pyong-Oh 2000) and it has there a status vagrant. 302. Ficedula mugimaki (TEMMINCK, 1835) [Siphia mugimaki] Mugimaki Flycatcher Data: Pyongyang (I): Pyongyang (I-1): 3 Oct 1968 (ZIP), 11, 14, 15 May 1980 (MAUERS), 16, 29 May 1988, 16 May 1990 (FIEB), Taesongsan (I-6): 3 Oct 1984 (TOM); Pyongan South (II): Jasan (II-12): 9 Sep 1953 (ZIP), Anju (II-16): 15 May 1930, 6 May 1932 (WON); Pyongan North (III): 24 May 1917, 7-24 May 1929 (AUST), Kohyonri (*III-4): 15 May 1955 (WON), Sambongri (III-8): 1 May 1958 (ZIP), Pankungri (*III-10): 11 May 1958 (WON), Myohyangsan (III-24): 22 May 1956, 15 May, 15 Jun 1957 (ZIP); Chagang (IV): Okasan (IV-3): 22 Sep 1958, 21 Sep 1959 (HO); Ryanggang (V): Jongbong (*V-6): 15 Jun 1958 (WON), Samjiyon (V-10): 25 Jun, 4 Jul 1958 (ZIP), 4 Jun 1980 (TOM), no date (HO), Sobaeksan (V-11): 18 Jun 1967 (ZIP), Mutubong (V-13): 23 Jul 1958 (WON), 8 Jun 1966 (ZIP), no date (HO); Hamgyong North (VI): 25, 27 Sep 1917 (AUST), Kulphori (VI-4): 14 May 1961 (WON); Kangwon (VIII): 11 Sep, 1 Oct 1914 (AUST); Hwanghae South (X): Kohyonri (*X-10): 15 May 1955 (ZIP); Kaesong (XI): Kaesong (XI-1): 10 Oct 1928, 28, 29 Sep, 7 Oct 1929, 5 May 1930, 19 May 1934, 4 Oct 1955 (WON), 20 Oct 1965 (ZIP); no data: 2 specimens (ZIP). Measurements (12specimens of the collection ZIP, 1 specimen of the collection ISEA): 9%% x 4&& x wing 71-77 74.7 72-75 73.5 tarsus 15-18.5 16.6 16-19 17.5 bill 8-10 9.0 8.5-10 9.1 tail 50-57 52.9 46-50 48.3 Passeriformes from North Korea 103 Probably a breeding species in the northern provinces and passage migrant. Observed from 1 May till 20 Oct. North of the Korean Peninsula the Mugimaki Flycatcher arrives mid-May, in Jun starts breeding and leaves for wintering in Sep (DEMENTEV &GLADKOV 1951-1954, NECHAEV 1991). Therefore it can be thought that birds observed in Jun and Jul are part of the breeding fauna. During this time there were records in Ryanggang (at least 6 records) and in the Myohyangsan Mountains (1 record). According to WON Hong-Koo (1965) the Mugimaki Flycatcher nests in the Ryanggang Province at an elevation of 1400-1900 m. The Mugimaki Flycatcher is a nesting species in provinces of northeast China bordering Korea, and in southeast Russia (MEYER DE SCHAUENSEE 1984, CHENG Tso-Hsin 1987, MACKINNON & PHILLIPS 2000, KOBLIK &MIKHAILOV 1994,MIKHAILOV et al. 1998, NECHAEV 1998a), but in Japan and South Korea it is known only as passage migrant (MORIOKA 2000, WON Pyong-Oh 2000). Thus, probably the border of the breeding area crosses the northern provinces of North Korea. How- ever it requires better documentation. 303. Ficedula parva (BECHSTEIN, 1794) [Siphia parva albicilla] Red-breasted Flycatcher Data: Pyongyang (I): Pyongyang (I-1): 23, 24 Oct 1987, 16 Oct 1988 (FIEB), 30 Sep, 1, 2 Oct 2000 (DUCK); Pyongan North (III): 26 May 1917, 8, 19 May 1929 (AUST), Jongju (III-3): 21 Sep 1951, Tasado (III-12): 8 May 1949 (WON), Hyangsan (III-23): 30 Oct 2000 (DUCK); Ryanggang (V): Kanpaegsan (*V-10): no date (HO); Hamgyong North (VI): 20 Sep 1917 (AUST), Mayonho (*VI-29): 26 Sep 1989 (FIEB); Kangwon (VIII): 30 Sep 1914 (AUST), Samil-pho (VIII-7): 9 Oct 1978 (TOM); Kaesong (XI): Kaesong (XI-1): 20 Oct 1965 (ZIP). Measurements (1 specimen of the collection ZIP and 1 specimen of the col- lection ISEA, sex unknown): wing 67.2, 67; tarsus 19.5, 17; bill 8, 9; tail 62.4, 51 mm. Rare passage migrant. Observed during spring (8-29 May, at least 4 records) and autumn (20-30 Oct, at least 13 records) passage. The breeding area of the Red-breasted Flycatcher includes north- eastern Asia (MAUERSBERGER &PORTENKO 1963), Sakhalin (NECHAEV 1991), the Sikhote-Alin Mountains (VOLOSHINA et al. 1999), while the farthest nesting place in the south is Edinka in Pri- morye (NAZARENKO 1990). They migrate for wintering in southeast Asia across Chinese territory (and are during this period “fairly common” – CHENG Tso-Hsin 1987). The passage route by-passes the eastern coast i.e. Primorye and the Korean Peninsula because in both southern Primorye and T. TOMEK 104 South Korea it is a rare passage migrant, and irregular visitor on the Japanese Islands (PANOV 1973, NECHAEV 1998a, GORE &WON Pyong-Oh 1971, WON Pyong-Oh 2000, MORIOKA 2000). 304.

    International Children's Day and Children's Union Foundation Day Tour May 31st – June 7th 2021 7 nights in North Korea + Beijing-Pyongyang travel time OVERVIEW There is a famous saying in North Korea that 'Children are the Kings of the Country' and significant attention is devoted to children's upbringing and education. International Children's Day on the 1st of June is particularly important and celebrations are held in recognition of children throughout North Korea. This is a day that is usually marked by student-oriented activities, events, and celebrations. We'll spend the holiday in the capital Pyongyang out and about in the city visiting locations popular with schoolchildren and their families, letting out our inner child and joining in the fun! During our time in Pyongyang, we will make sure to take you to the best that the country’s capital has to offer, including Kim Il Sung Square, the Juche Tower, and the Mansudae Grand Monument. Apart from Pyongyang, this tour will also visit historic Kaesong and the DMZ, the capital of the medieval Koryo Dynasty and the current North-South Korea border. Want to explore further? This tour will also get your across to the east coast of Korea to visit North Korea's second largest city of Hamhung, and the beachside city of Wonsan.

Custom Trip Report The Central Chinese province of Sichuan provided some notable challenges this year: still recovering from the catastrophic “Wenchuan 5.12” earthquake of 2008, the area is undergoing massive reconstruction. All very positive for the future of this scenically extraordinary Chinese region, but often a headache for tour arrangements, due to last minute traffic controls leading us to regularly rethink our itinerary in the Wolong area in particular, that was not far from the epicenter of that massive quake. Even in areas seemingly unaffected by the quake, huge road construction projects created similar challenges to achieving our original planned itinerary. However, in spite of regular shuffling and rethinking, the itinerary went ahead pretty much as planned with ALL sites visited. Other challenges came this year in the form of heavy regular rains that plagued us at Wawu Shan and low cloud that limited visibility during our time around the breathtaking Balang Mountain in the Wolong region. With some careful trickery, sneaking our way through week-long road blocks under cover of darkness, birding through thick and thin (mist, cloud and rains) we fought against all such challenges and came out on top.

    JAPAN IN WINTER JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 2, 2017 LEADERS: KAZ SHINODA & BOB SUNDSTROM WITH KOJI NIIYA ON HOKKAIDO LIST COMPILED BY: BOB SUNDSTROM VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM JAPAN IN WINTER: A CRANE & SEA-EAGLE SPECTACLE! By Bob Sundstrom The Japan in Winter tour is subtitled “A Crane and Sea-Eagle Spectacle,” a billing it truly lives up to. The tour has been designed by Japanese birding tour leader, Kaz Shinoda, and traverses the three main—and distinctively different—islands of Honshu, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. About a third of the tour is devoted to each island. From south to north, that’s a span of over 1,600 miles, from the mild weather and green tea plantations of Kyushu to the snowy rim of the Sea of Okhotsk on Hokkaido, with the largest, central island of Honshu in-between. On our 2017 tour we enjoyed great views of five species of cranes. At Arasaki on the island of Kyushu, we took in one of the grandest crane spectacles in the world as thousands of White- naped and Hooded cranes gathered in fields and paddies: tall, silvery White-naped Cranes with bold red faces standing head and shoulders above petite, elegant Hooded Cranes with charcoal bodies, white necks, and red forecrowns. Tucked among their thousands were a handful of Eurasian/Common Cranes and Sandhill Cranes. At sunset, most of the vast assemblage flew by as we watched, a few dozen or a few hundred at a time, with the orange sky of late sunset behind them as they winged to a nighttime roost nearby.

During the afternoon we did some birding in the river area and found a good selection of birds that included several groups of smart Azure Tits, a large group of Azure-winged Magpies, several tristis forms of Chifchaff, a single Dusky Warbler, Daurian Jackdaw, many Taiga Flycatchers, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and loads of raptors.

The Korean peninsula may be unlike other political space due to the ruptured relations and sovereignty on its territory since World War II: North and South Korea.
