Black-faced Spoonbill Ecological Exhibition Hall Introduction
The Black-faced Spoonbill Ecological Exhibition Hall is located not far from the Black-faced Spoonbill Birdwatching Pavilion and its main habitat. The building is situated on water, featuring a unique design to avoid disturbing the natural ecosystem. The interior is equipped with exhibition space that provides 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, known as the "Black-faced Dancer," is classified as an endangered species. Currently, there is a stable population that migrates to the Zengwen River estuary in Jhuolan Township to spend the winter, arriving around September to October and staying until March to May of the following year. The Black-faced Spoonbill rests during the day and forages at night, starting its playful activities, bathing, or preening around 4 to 5 PM. If lucky, one may even witness the splendid sight of the Black-faced Spoonbill taking flight. In addition to the well-known Black-faced Spoonbill, there are about 200 species of migratory birds at the Zengwen River estuary. In winter, a greater variety of birds can be observed, with common sightings including members of the gull and sandpiper families, while resident birds such as the spotted dove and white-breasted waterhen are also frequently seen, indicating a rich avian resource.
