Bird Island



The first thing to know is that "Bird Island" is no longer an island. With the retreating water levels, this area is now the end of a peninsula. Depending on the time of year, there may be many more migrating birds than we saw on this trip.

As you can tell from some of the other pictures of our Qinghai lake trip, it started out as a rainy and somewhat blustery day. By the time we got to the west end of the lake, the sun had broken through.

It was a lovely day...
Here are some nesting cormorants and a view of the lake.
