Bird ringing |
baha2 writes "The science of studying bird is ornithology
Bird ringing is a scientific method for identifying birds individually and the term always implies the use of metal leg-rings, stamped or engraved with a serial number and the address of a recognized ringing organization. The numbered rings make it possible to recognize each bird individually if it is found dead (a recovery) or recaught (a retrap) at a later date. The term “ringing” is currently used in Britain, Europe and Africa, while “banding” is used in the Americas, Canada, Australia and most Asian countries."

Passage migrant and Summer visitor, for example Short toed Eagle, Long Legged
Buzzard, Egyptian Vulture, Lesser Kestrel. The wintering raptors include Black
Kite, the 4 species of Harriers. The soaring birds also include White Stork,
Black Stork, White Pelican and Cranes. These species unlike migratory raptors,
they stop on the way to feed, rather than mainly or solely to roost. Storks and
Pelicans are truly soaring birds, cranes are very large birds but considered as
a semi-soaring bird.
