Abstract

Raptor Migration is one of the most famous ecosystem mystery phenomena around the world. Both Malaysia and Taiwan are located on the flight path of the migration tracks of raptors in East Asia. For the past years, researchers associated with the Kenting National Park used a Doppler Weather Radar (Central Weather Bureau) to investigate the migration tracks of raptors, few episodes achieved very successful results. This study is to build up an information system which uses satellite images and Doppler Weather Radars to identify the raptor signal from the radar echoes. It is also going to build up a data flowchart, data base and Geographic Information System (Google Earth) for a near-time display. This system will provide the migration information for academic research, surface surveying and also for tourists and amateur bird watchers. Based on the near time track skill improvement, this study designed a web-based migration bird education for the public, we used web skill to demonstrate the near time migration track of raptors, the watching locations, as well as the e-book to introduce species of raptors.
