Pearl Sholes (China)

Pearl Sholes Waterfall, Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan (China)

This impressive multi-layered waterfall is just one of many, many visual attractions in Jiuzhaigou National Park in northern Sichuan, one of China's most popular parks due to a myriad of strangely-colored lakes, and dramatic wooded valleys, dotted with colorful Tibetan villages. OK so what about the birds. The star among them is the little known as devilishly difficult to see Rufous-headed Robin, although such rarities as Sichuan Jay, and Blue Eared-Pheasant also reside in this magical valley. Along with abundant Chinese Leaf-Warblers that "rattle" from the treetops, and Chinese Song Thrushes whose melancholy song can be heard at dawn echoing from the tall spruce trees. Mixed flocks can be impressive here holding the endemic Sooty and Pere David's Tits, and even the Snowy-browed Nuthatch too.
