The blue-cheeked bee eater (Merops philippinus) is a migrant bird that visits Kinmen during the summer, and roughly 2,000-3,000 birds visit Kinmen between April and September each year for reproduction. Kinmen National Park commissioned the research team of Professor Yuan Hsiao-Wei of National Taiwan University in 2002 to study the reproductive ecology of blue-cheeked bee eaters, and has gained an in-depth understanding of its habitat selection and preservation and reproductive behavior. Yet, after so many years, we still know little about the migration path and where the birds spend the winter after leaving Kinmen. Hence, Kinmen National Park and the research team plans to spend two years starting in 2015 and use the latest geographic recorder to understand the areas where blue-cheeked bee eaters stay in Kinmen, as well as their migration path and where the birds spend the winter after leaving Kinmen. Director-General Hsieh Wei-Song indicated that migrant birds are global citizens not confined within borders, so it is necessary to carry out research and implement conservation measures at the place where they reproduce, but understanding their migration path and where they spend the winter is equally as important. He hopes that the research using geographic recorders will provide more understanding and care for these beautiful birds that reproduce in Kinmen year after year without fail, and allow future generations to meet them year after year.
