Kuantu, this northern wetland where the Keelung River empties into the Tanshui Estuary, is an important stop for East Asian migratory birds on their spring and autumn journeys, and a place where many migrants spend the winter, waiting for the warmth of spring to change into their beautiful summer plumage and set off back north to breed.
位於北台灣、基隆河匯入淡水河口的關渡，是每年東亞候鳥秋春兩季大遷徙的重要中繼站，不少冬候鳥更索性在此度過一整個冬天，等春暖花開，換上美麗的夏羽後，再返回北方繁殖。
