老鷹畫冊 - Black Kite album

The "Black Kite album (老鷹畫冊)" telling the stories of Black Kite that's observed by Mr. Shen Chen-Chung (Black Kite researcher in Taiwan since 1991).  The main content  is in bilingual (Chinese & English), it's concise and beautiful like poem with fingerprint drawings by Mr. Shen ten years ago. 

There was a touching story behind the print of this book.  When birder Ms. Yeung saw the early version (carbon copies) of the "Black Kite album", she was very touched and then expressed her wish on a bird forum to print the book.

Through support and donation by passionated birders, 3,200 books were printed.  Ms. Yeung's dream came true like a miracle!
