Title: Raptors at Mai Po　米埔猛禽匯
Post by Anguslau on Dec 20^th, 2004, 4:27pm

Last Thursday was my raptors' day at Mai Po. I believe I saw eight different species of them! :D It has been immensely satisfying and certeinly intensified my interest in them. Given a very good day, I decided to try my luck again this morning. But was a bit disappointed since most of them cannot be seen again. :'( Today was very misty, could this the reason why the raptors did not like to fly?? ???

Anyway, here is a list of what I recorded last Thursday:
- Black-Eared Kite: 12+
- Common Buzzard: 5
- Imperial Eagle: 1 adult, 2 juvenile
- Spotted Eagle: 1 adult, 2 juvenile (or youngs)
- Bonelli's Eagle: 1 adult, 2 juvenile
- Kestrel: 2
- Peregrine Falcon: 1
- Osprey: 1

To help myself identify them in the future, I have created an online album for each species. You are welcome to visit it and correct me if I have identified anything incorrectly. I must admit that most of these are not good photos, mainly for identifications only. :P Here is the url for the album: http://www.pbase.com/anguslau/raptor_id
