General

Information is based on dictionaries and other sources. Pinyin readings reflect standard Mandarin usage; for some dialect alternative names it may be of little practical use, especially for South China. Many Korean glosses are highly tentative. Comments and corrections welcome.

The nuthatches are known as shī in Chinese. This is always found in combination, not as an independent word. It appears to be a naturalist's term rather than a name in popular usage. (If your browser shows only a square or a question mark, place your cursor over the top and the character will appear).

The wallcreeper is known as 旋壁雀 xuán-bì-què, meaning 'circle-wall-sparrow' (similar to the name of the treecreeper).
