Anatidae species bred in Siberia are congregated in stopover sites such as Amur River Basin, Khanka Lake and Northeast China. Information of migratory birds visiting these stopover sites are necessary for the risk assessment of HPAI introduction into Korean Penninsula. From June to october 2018, two Eastern Spot-billed Duck (Anas zonorhyncha), four Mallards and fifteen chicks of Great Egret (Ardea alba) were caught and GPS trackers (WT-300) were attached to them. Their movement data were collected and analyzed. All the birds did not migrate south until 23 Oct. 2018 because the lake is not frozen and it is filled with a lot of water. We believe that the water level in Khanka Lake affects the duration of migration of birds, the timing of migration, the intensity of migration. During the following winter time, two ducks moved to Japan and stayed, and a few great egrets migrated to Korean Penninsula. The spatio-temporal movement pattern of those birds during migration were analysed in terms of their strategy to survive and the possibility of ther roles of carrying viruses with infection.
