“That’s a Peregrine Falcon (遊隼).” As we walked along the trail towards the central observation deck of Banping Mountain (半屏山), a majestic bird of prey suddenly soared above us. According to Yang Yu-siang (楊玉祥), director of research and conservation at Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society (KWBS, 高雄市野鳥學會), one of the most unique sights at Banping Mountain is the seasonal migration of raptors in spring and autumn. The central observation deck serves as the perfect vantage point to witness this spectacle of nature.
