Yellow-headed Korean Bush Warbler - Yellow-headed Korean Bush Warbler

...The birds of this genus also live in the treetops and are especially fond of berries, hence the English name fig bird. The black-naped oriole Oriolus chinensis (illustration) is the species that, along with the yellow-headed oriole O. oriolus of Europe, has spread furthest north among birds of this family. It is widely distributed in South Asia, and also inhabits the eastern part of Lake Baikal, the Ussuri-Amur River basin, and almost all of China, and those that breed in the north migrate south to spend the winter.
