Taiwan Wildlife Photos

The longer we have stayed overseas, the more the stresses of moving compete with the magic of learning a new country.  However, we've had some chances to explore, and spotting new flora and fauna is still a lot of fun. Below are some of the critters we've seen since moving to Taiwan. 

Taiwan has a variety of habitats to explore, and some of the forest and beach areas require a bit of travel for us. However, this rice farming area in Taipei is just a few stops from us on the MRT and attracts some interesting wetland species, including some of the bird species below.
