In Search of the Black-faced spoonbill

Today, one of the science teachers from Shengli Elementary School took me to Tainan County to observe the Black-faced Spoonbill, a bird which winters near Chigu and the Tzengueu River. The black-faced spoonbill migrates from North Korea and is a globally endangered species; its known world population is less than 1000. In the last decade, international efforts have been made to save this species from the risk of extinction and these have also aroused awareness to this endangered species. Tainan county has done a wonderful job of educating the public to the plight of this bird and has designed observation/information areas with young people in mind.
