The yellow-throated bunting (Emberiza elegans), also known as the elegant bunting, is a species of bird in the family Emberizidae. It is found in China, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Russia, and Taiwan. Its natural habitats are temperate forests and subtropical or tropical dry forests.
Emberiza elegans follows Type II chain migration. Research on isotopes from feathers has revealed that northern populations begin migration before southern populations. Additionally, a latitudinal gradient in hydrogen isotopes suggest that northern breeders spend winters further north than their southern counterparts. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Bunting sighting in Daejeon on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 34th most-seen of the 69 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Bunting in Daejeon on a given day, against about 10% in May to October, the lowest months. Those are among Daejeon's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 320 mm in July.
4th of 21
Of the 21 cities where we can rate Yellow-throated Bunting sightings, Daejeon ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in Busan (South Korea, about 30%), Guiyang (China, about 20%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 20%).
Same order: Passeriformes

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-throated Bunting is recorded against all the birds logged in Daejeon (17 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
