還記得小編第一次使用Merlin 鳥種識別 app時，為強大的鳥音辨識功能感到驚訝！能有厲害的鳥音辨識功能，需要有龐大的鳥音音檔做基礎.

因此，eBird Taiwan在本月推出挑戰活動就是「上傳一份鳥種錄音」，用手機錄鳥音也沒問題，歡迎大家參加！

親自觀察飛羽之美是常見、認識鳥兒的方式，現在呢，換個方法，從古典詩詞來認識鳥兒吧！台北鳥會將舉辦線上大講堂「古典詩詞中鳥類的真面目」，不用再擔心受距離限制，待在家中就可以對鳥兒有更多認識囉！

In filming Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi on Skellig Michael, Ireland, there were so many Atlantic #Puffins around, the crew couldn't remove them all in post-production. A new species was created to cover up the birds, Porgs!
