In a pavillion beside Kyungpo Lake in Kangneung on the east coast is a collection of the bird pictures and data on migrating birds that populate the lake at various times of year. Designed for educational purposes, the pavillion along with pay-as-you-use binoculars for spotting the birds and zooming in on their colorful markings help to raise awareness of the fast disappearing wildlife around Kyungpo Lake. The pavillion was built for educational purposes, especially since most Koreans are urban-dwellers and the younger generations are clueless about wildlife. So in the pavillion at least 40 birds populating the lake are identified with pictures, names, height & weight, breeding times, migration times when passing through or residing at Kyungpo Lake. Following are the 40 identified birds along with their names in English and Korean.
