Black Kite
黑鳶
Milvus migrans
1/2
Common resident bird which can be found soaring above hills and skyscrapers.
常見的留鳥，常在山坡及高樓大樓上空翱翔
Has a forked tail and six spread remiges (flight feathers on wings) which are easy to spot when it is in flight.
在空中滑翔的黑鳶展視分叉的尾巴和 6 條展開的飛羽（翅膀上的發翔羽），亦是辨別牠們的好特徵
Despite the name of the children’s tag game “Eagle (or Hawk) Catches the Chicks”, this species are actually scavengers and fish hunters.
兒時遊戲「麻鷹捉雞仔」實際上名不副實，因為黑鳶/麻鷹的主要食物來源為腐肉和魚
