Buteo hemilasius

Mostly migratory, with some birds perhaps wintering in or near breeding areas; generally avoids snow-covered areas. In China, winters mainly N of R Yangtze, occasionally further S, to Guangdong; records of 30 and 40 birds seen on consecutive days in NW Sichuan (C China) in 1989; rare in winter on S slopes of Himalayas in N India and Nepal. Accidental to Japan, mainly in winter, almost certainly from Korea.
