auntnance123 : These are from park near my home as you can see in the map when you enlarge it. You can it's right in the downtown of Taipei city, just like the Central Park of NYC. These birds stay in the lake inside the park (Da An Forest Park).

Also, note the yellow base of the lower mandible.

This is a nice set of spottings. Welcome to Project Noah. I'm partial to herons--were yours all spotted in the same area? I'd be interested in more information being unfamiliar with Taipei, Taiwan.

I believe you're right, Liam--it's that distinctive red eye.
