Experience the Gray-faced Buzzard migration in Taiwan, a birders' dream and one of nature's great migrations. Thousands of these majestic birds converge over Taiwan, sometimes forming kettles in the thousands as they migrate north. This annual spectacle is truly one of nature's hidden gems.
Historically, during this period, the Gray-faced Buzzards were hunted and sold to the Japanese for decorative purposes. Thankfully, this practice has ceased. Now, hundreds of Taiwan locals and bird enthusiasts from around the island flock to the best spots, during this short period to witness this magical event.
Despite their prevalence during migration, Gray-faced Buzzards can be elusive and challenging to film when perched. Nonetheless, the opportunity to witness their graceful flight and the sheer numbers in which they gather is a sight to behold. 🦅✨
