Hong Kong bird classification and identification activity
The bird spreadsheet below has a list of birds that I saw at Tsim Bei Tsui on New Year's Day 2008. Most of the birds on the list are common and there is a very good chance that we will see them when we head out for our bird survey. In order to prepare, we need to become familiar with the birds themselves - What family do they belong to? What are their field marks? It is expected that you will be able to identify the birds by their common name and also be able to identify to which family they belong. So how will we accomplish this?
- Download the spreadsheet below and fill in the taxonomic information for the birds listed. The Genus and species information can be found on the other sheet called HK birds (This you will do individually).
- Go to the Hong Kong Birdwatching Society website (click here) copy photos, and create a Keynote presentation that includes the following:
- Two photos of the bird
- It's common name, scientific name, and family name
