Identifying Wild Birds Wildbirds What was That? Strange new birds come to our feeders. Spring migration arrives and colorful warblers appear for a day or two before continuing north. A vacation to visit friends in another state brings new memories and new birds! Watching birds is fun, but it is even more fun if you can put a name with the bird. Most of us know what a Robin looks like. We probably fed Mallard Ducks at the pond. We could even identify a Bald Eagle or a Canada Goose without much effort. But what do you do when something totally new appears? It helps to have a Field Guide for the birds of your area. If you know where to look in the book, you might be able to find a picture of your bird. Computer programs are incredibly helpful for identifying birds. You can enter a bird's color, size, habitat and sound and then see photos of all the birds that match your description! One of the most helpful tricks when identifying birds is to know where you saw the bird! Even though there are 10,000 different species of birds in the world, only about 100 are likely to show up in your yard but which 100? To answer that question, you need a checklist of the birds of your area.

F.B.MAGPIE HOME PAGE BIRDING IN TAIWAN Birding Info By Wayne Hsu (taken from GATEPOST , May 1999, titled "Birding in Taiwan") Despite its rapid development, Taiwan is still home to a variety of plants and wildlife. Bird-watching is one of the fastest-growing outdoor hobbies in many countries, and it is also quickly gaining popularity here. Taiwan hosts an incredible diversity of more than four hundred species of birds, including fourteen endemic species that are found nowhere else in the world. Taiwan is also a major wintering ground for globally-threatened species such as Black-faced Spoonbills and Saunder's Gulls. A birder, short for bird-watcher, is anyone who enjoys wild birds, whether he or she simply watches birds through the window or spends countless hours in a variety of environments documenting the behavior of rare species. Are you tired of living in a concrete jungle and breathing smoggy Taipei air? Then step outdoors into the wilderness and discover the joys of bird-watching! Birding Basics The only essential equipment for watching birds are a pair of binoculars and a field guide to the birds of Taiwan. Don't be tempted to buy cheap binoculars. High-quality binoculars from reputable companies may be costly, but your expense will be paid off by a durable pair that will reward you with a lifetime of clear, sharp views. The most ideal magnification is between 7x and 10x. Anything lower will not be powerful enough to bring faraway birds up close, and anything larger will make it too difficult to hold sufficiently steady. In addition, the small field of view of too high a power makes it more difficult to locate birds and too dark for distinguishing color; fields of view too large just add unnecessary weight to the binoculars. Lens sizes between 20 and 40 mm usually give the most ideal field of view. A number of field guides are available in nature shops and wild bird societies (see
