Features: This book compiles various knowledge about the species names, morphological characteristics, distribution areas, conservation levels, relative visibility, residency periods, research value, and life traits of wild birds in Beijing. If you are a bird enthusiast, it is absolutely your perfect companion! "A Field Guide to Birds of Beijing" records the names of over 270 common bird species, providing brief descriptions of their characteristics, habitats, and life habits. Symbols and illustrations are used to indicate their distribution ranges, residency periods, encounter rates, and conservation levels, making it a highly informative field identification manual that fully meets the needs of recognizing local bird species. Of course, "recognizing" bird species is just the first step in birdwatching. Once you know them, you can expand your knowledge by consulting reference books and become familiar with them through field observations. Now, there are tens of thousands of amateur birdwatchers worldwide who regularly collaborate to observe and census migratory birds, achieving significant results. As a major bird resource country, China cannot rely solely on a limited number of ornithologists for research and conservation; this work requires the participation of the general public! This book is not only a science popularization read but also a summary of their research on the distribution and dynamics of birds in Beijing, making it a highly valuable contribution.
