What is generating such synchronisation in a crowd of 30000 individuals without a specific leadership? a mystery of science similar for packs of small fishes in front of a single predator.

商人夫婦投入野鳥攝影 成就台灣最完整鳥圖
更新日期:2009/11/24 09:35
台灣有許多野鳥生態攝影家，但是卻沒有人能夠把在台灣出現的所有野鳥拍齊過，如今這個高難度的任務，被一對半路出家的民間企業家(郭耿光)夫婦完成，他們耗時五年，從早到晚，上山下海，終於拍攝下台灣所有五百多種野生鳥類的生動畫面。
根據審定的紀錄資料，目前為止曾經出現在台灣的留鳥、過境鳥、冬夏季候鳥跟迷鳥，總數多達570種，由於有些鳥種極為罕見，加上行蹤難以捉摸，因此很難透過照相機把這些野鳥完整拍齊。
郭耿光先生原本是賞鳥界的門外漢，當初是因為公司要代理國外相機，為了測試相機性能而選擇難度最高的野鳥攝影來切入，而一頭栽進去之後就欲罷不能，甚至連他的太太(黃美娥)也跟著成為野鳥生態攝影家。
至於為甚麼他能夠拍到這麼齊全稀有的鳥類圖片呢？原因除了郭先生的公司投入了很多資源外，他在協助保護鳥類生態環境上更是出錢出力，受到賞鳥界人士的敬重，因此全台鳥會會員都變成他的通報者，只要發現任何珍稀鳥類蹤跡，消息立刻傳到，郭先生也一定像救火隊那般，不論早晚遠近，一定披星戴月立刻出發急速趕到現場。
郭先生最近整理了五年來所拍攝台灣野鳥照片的精華，即日起在台北市新光三越百貨A9展出，展覽中不只可以看到栩栩如生的野鳥圖像，還有許多捕捉到精采的動態瞬間畫面，加上台北市野鳥學會義工導覽的解說，希望讓參觀者能有更深層的感動。

November Geese
I finally got out a bit this weekend. We went out to see how the geese were doing. They were away from the water feeding, but after we heard a few gunshots, they started coming in. There was one lone snow goose with all the Canada geese. I recorded a bit of audio. You can hear them splashing down. We'll have open water for a bit yet, so they'll stick around for a while. There's lots of good eatin' for them out in the fields.
We found the remains of a goose. Hard to say whether it was taken by a coyote or an eagle, but there was a goose feather up in a tree, so perhaps it was an eagle.
