Chiang Kai-shek birds


Just a few blocks away from the Botanical Gardens Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.
The Gardens are full of birds. And people of course.
A very common sight: Black Drongo, demonstrating acrobatic flights around the fishpond. I wonder if they do that only in mating season. Their name and appearance invoke moody impressions, like characters from some Japanese animation. Red-collared Doves on the other hand appear so peaceful.
The ever present Magpies seem less vocal and less prominent then in Japan.
