黑面琵鷺其活動模式會隨著季節不同而略有差異。普遍來說,清晨陸續從各覓食區域飛回來主要棲息地準備休息,在休息前可能會有一連串的行為模式,例如:覓食、洗澡、社交、理羽以及嬉戲…等,完成後陸續將嘴喙插入背部羽毛開啟白天的休息模式,到了黃昏、傍晚時刻,陸續開始清醒,接續可能又進行一連串的行為模式,例如:覓食、洗澡、社交、理羽以及嬉戲…等,接續一小群一小群分批陸續飛離主要棲息地開啟夜間覓食活動。剛抵達臺灣以及開始接近北返期間,白天的覓食頻率會增加,主要補充遷徙流失以及遷徙所需的能量。

在臺灣鳥類學史上,一 個代表性里程碑是冷戰時期由美國主導的「東亞遷徙動物病理學調查」計畫( MAPS )。在臺灣,二次世界大戰曾導致鳥類學研究中斷, 而 MAPS 計畫常被視為重啟的契機。2025年9月,作者前往日本參與亞洲環境史研討會,報告臺灣參與 MAPS 計畫的歷史研究成果,並將馬來西亞、韓國研究者的發表內容帶回來與鳥友們分享。

黑面琵鷺(Platalea minor)為我國瀕臨絕種保育類野生動物,也是名列世界自然保育聯盟受脅物種紅皮書(IUCN Red List of Threatened Species)的易危(VU,Vulnerable)物種,全球僅剩 7,081 隻,其中臺灣記錄有 4,169 隻,占全球數量的 58.9%(中華民國野鳥學會,2025)。黑面琵鷺僅分佈在東亞一帶,主要繁殖地為朝鮮半島西側沿岸及近海,主要的度冬地則為臺灣西南沿海(Chen et al. 2021)。因此,黑面琵鷺保育能否成功,臺灣扮演著舉足輕重的要角。

提到可愛的貓頭鷹,除了萌萌大眼、長腿迷因、偽裝貓耳的角羽、可以左右旋轉270度的頭部,以及能在空中安靜飛行的羽毛之外,許多人也會想到「貓頭鷹的頭骨及耳孔是不對稱的」這件事。這確實是某幾種貓頭鷹特別的生理構造,也是鳥類解剖學上的經典案例,但綜觀整個貓頭鷹家族/鴞形目(Strigiformes),卻並非每個物種都具有這個特徵。

Lucie Hošková, the Head of Development at the Czech Society for Ornithology, visited Taiwan with her family in the winter of 2024. Here she describes her experience, sharing with readers about balancing birdwatching and sightseeing when you explore a new place and not everyone has the same interests!

They say that if you don't know where you've come from, you won't know where you're going. In honor of the Taiwan Wild Bird Federation's 35th anniversary, we take a look at Taiwan's journey from relative ornithological obscurity to its current leadership in bird conservation and citizen science, together with the role that the TWBF and its partners have played in this years-long process of development.

The Taiwan Wild Bird Federation (TWBF) and the alliance of conservation groups from Taiwan focusing on salt pan wetland conservation visited the Bird Conservation Society of Thailand (BCST) for  three days from 14-16 November 2023. They came to experience and learn about key sites for shorebird conservation in privately-owned protected areas in Thailand.
