The joy of bird watching in Taipei>Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park

Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park        Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park, which belongs to the tidal area, is located at the interchange of Hsindian River and Dahan River in the tributary of Tamsui River. Due to the flat terrain, a large amount of sediment and organic matter are deposited. Because of this, there are abundant benthic organisms, aquatic plants and ebbs. The reed bushes in Houshazhou form the best base for the hidden rest of the wild ducks. This innate advantage of the wetland environment allows thousands of migrant birds to choose Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park to inhibit in winter. Here is the best place to watch the wild ducks at each fall. Wild Bird Society of Taipei also arranges professional tour guide teachers on weekends, and holds free tour guides in Huajiang Wild Duck Nature Park. Filmed by  Bird Conservator        The teacher told us try to keep quite while watching the birds so as not to scare away the nearby birds. Mr. Yueh-Hui Chen mentioned that the ducks were an observable bird species in the Yanduck Park. They go all the way from Siberia to Taiwan, Central South Peninsula and India Wetlands to pass winter, but the number does decrease year by year, indicating that environmental changes have caused migrant birds to return to the north ahead of time, and the southward migration time has been delayed. Due to their large size and wide distribution, ducks are species suitable for observation and monitoring. When we look at ducks every year, whether the number of ducks increases or decreases, and whether they come at a later time, we tell whether the environment is changing. It turns out that environmental degradation affects living things all the time, which really worries us. Filmed by  Bird Conservator       The nearby wire racks are high, with magpies nesting on it, and Peregrine falcons stopping on the Hsinbei Bridge, but we didn’t see them today. There are also plenty of three types of urban treasures, including light-vented bulbuls, sparrows, and warbling white-eyes. Black kite flew across the sky. There were a lot of starlings. We had a heated discussion on whether they were white-tailed or family starlings. The commentary signs along the way showed that the species of birds near Huajiang.        We watched birds from the river, but the bird condition was not good today. Sandpipers in the distance were busy eating, herons flew over and hide back to the grass, and several African sacred ibis stayed in the distance. We watched about 25 species of birds in total.
