Carolyn and I went to the Botanical Garden in Taipei our first day, which was somewhat productive, but I think we got spoiled by Singapore standards. Plus, it was blasted hot, and we tried to stay in the shade as much as possible. Heat index of 105 midday…. perhaps that’s why bird activity was low.








From the Botanical Garden, we walked to Liberty Square to check out the museums, etc (which we did) but were pleasantly surprised to discover that the bird life in a pond on the property provided a better variety of bird life than the Botanical Garden.
