To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."

Egrets in Hong Kong
Well, I'm in Hong Kong again, and so far have not seen many birds except a Black Kite scavenging tidbits from the surface of the water in the harbor. The best views once again are on the murals in the lobby of the Kowloon Shangri La Hotel. This flock of stylized egrets probably represent Chinese Egrets, and I hope to see some through the bus window as I travel around in various Asian cities during the next two weeks. That will be about my only chance for any birding on this trip.
