Description
Baiwangshan Forest Park (百望山森林公园) sits at the end of a long mountain range running northeast-southwest. Each spring and autumn, thousands of birds pass this area during their migration. Local birdwatchers frequent this area especially for raptor monitoring, documenting large numbers of Oriental Honey-buzzard, Amur Falcon, Sparrowhawk etc. Other non-raptor migrants include Daurian Redstart, Red-breasted Flycatcher and Brambling etc. The forest in the part itself hosts common resident species such as Oriental Turtle Dove, Silver-throated Tit and Oriental Greenfinch.
