Black-faced Spoonbill Ecological Exhibition Hall Introduction
The Black-faced Spoonbill Ecological Exhibition Hall is located near the Black-faced Spoonbill Birdwatching Pavilion and main habitat. The building is situated on water, with a unique design aimed at minimizing disturbance to the natural ecosystem. Inside, there are exhibition spaces that provide detailed information about the Black-faced Spoonbill, including its life history, wetland ecology, conservation efforts, and sustainable development. (This exhibition hall is affiliated with the Biodiversity Research Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture.) The Black-faced Spoonbill, famously known as the "Black-faced Dancer," is listed as an endangered species. Currently, there is a stable population of Black-faced Spoonbills that migrates to the Sizhuo River mouth for wintering, arriving around September to October and staying until March to May of the following year. They rest during the day and forage at night, starting their playful activities and bathing, as well as preening, around 4 or 5 PM. If lucky, one may witness the magnificent sight of the Black-faced Spoonbill taking flight. In addition to the well-known Black-faced Spoonbill, there are approximately 200 species of migratory birds at the Sizhou River estuary. During winter, many bird species can be observed, with common sightings including members of the gull and sandpiper families. Resident birds, such as the Eurasian Collared-Dove and White-headed Munia, are also commonly seen, making the birdlife resources exceptionally rich.
