 * __Mr Arnold, bird watcher email__**

Glad to hear that you guys are doing a project on birds!!

I just saw a Black-eared Kite swooping above the basketball court today. I have a great HK bird book you can borrow. I'll bring it in tomorrow. You can come pick it up from me in my room (508).

Here are some bird species that I have seen at school: • Red-whiskered Bulbul (they have the pointy black feathers on their head) • Chinese Bulbul • Blue Whistling Thrush • Blue Rock Thrush (I was surprised to see this here. It was up high on the ledge of the big white building that has the temple behind it. • Crested Goshawk (VERY surprised to see this one here. I have only seen it in the New Territories). • Thick-billed Crow • Eurasian Sparrow (probably the most common bird in SE Asia. Every city has them). • Spotted Dove - (also very common) • Rock Dove (very common) • Little Egrets, Great Egrets, and probably Intermediate Egrets are common down by the water along the boardwalk.

If you want to go bird watching with me sometime, just let me know. We could arrange to go on a Sunday morning for a few hours. You could probably see 30 or so different kinds of birds found in Hong Kong.

Dear Ethan, Urs and Owen,

Thanks for your email. I am very interested to learn more about your project and what you are trying to do. I also have a couple of questions about the bird feeders and the possibility of attracting unwanted pests. Let me know a good time to chat with you in your classroom or you can come along to my office when you have the time today or tomorrow.

Many thanks,
