"Brother, what are you talking about?What kind of bird is this?" Gu Yu couldn't help but ask when he saw Yang Yi muttering to himself there.

"The white-bellied frigate bird is a particularly rare bird, it is a first-class protected animal in our China, and it is also included in the International Committee for the Conservation of Birds in the Red Book of the World's Endangered Birds, and it is estimated that there are no more than 1,600 pairs in the world.

"They are called white-bellied frigate birds, those people in the navy are godly, and they don't see it too special, and why does it rob others to catch fish?" Gu Yu then asked.

"Haha, this is their habit, they like to rob other birds, so there is also a name [pirate bird], it is their nature to prey on food, once they find that other birds peck fish in the water and fly with fish, they immediately swoop and gallop in pursuit, violently peck the tail of the former, force it to open its mouth, and then use the agile flying technique to peck at the fish falling in the air. Seagrass and other things used for nesting are also taken from the mouths of other birds in this way. Let's go up to the island to see how many birds have bloomed during this time, and if there are too many, my plans to build a landscape on the island will be ruined!"

"Okay, okay, let's go take a look!" Gu Yu clapped his hands and said, Tong Ling didn't object, he also liked birds.

Yang Yi drove the boat close to a small island on the west side of the center of the lake, this island is only one or two acres in size, surrounded by aquatic plants such as reeds and cattails, and the island is dominated by shrubs, and there are dozens of tall trees, forming the appearance of a small forest.

"Look, this blue bird is so beautiful, I seem to have seen it, isn't it a kingfisher?"

Before Gu Yu came ashore, he pointed to a few birds on the branches with emerald blue backs, chestnut brown bellies, light-colored horizontal spots on their heads, and red beaks and feet, and asked, and couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone to take a photo, and Tong Ling also took a picture with his mobile phone.

"That's right, this is the kingfisher, also known as the fish dog or the fish man, is the most beautiful population of birds, this is the blue-eared kingfisher, which belongs to the national second-class protected animals, I haven't seen them for several years, I didn't expect to return to Pearl Lake. Yang Yi said with a sigh.

"Let's go, this island is too small, and the dirt on it is all wet, so we won't go up!"

Yang Yi circled around the island and found that many birds survived on this small island, in addition to the kingfishers and cormorants he saw, he also found crested grebes, which should be migratory birds, and some anti-billed sandpipers and red-footed sandpipers also lived on this small island, and several young birds were still running like ducks in the shallow water on the edge of the island.

He sailed to the largest island in the lake, stopped at the edge of the island, jumped to the island with a cable, tied the cable to a tree that was half growing in the water, and took the two girls up the island from the west side.

This is the largest island in the lake, there are more than ten acres of appearance, the periphery is wetland, countless aquatic plants are growing, the trees in the central area are very lush, and there is a stone mountain bag, the whole island is an extension of the remaining veins of Zhushan, but because of geological changes, most of them have sunk into the lake.

They were on the island from a rocky position on the west side, and the rest of the place was wet, like a swamp, and there was no way to get to the island. They climbed up the rugged path, there were all kinds of birds between the trees on both sides, some knew it, some he didn't know, countless birds nested and multiplied here, squeaking like a symphony chorus, not to mention Tong Ling and Gu Yu, the two girls, that is, he was a little indulged in the quiet scenery of this birdsong.

In the distance, the white-bellied sea eagle circled for a while, landed on a raised rock, another female eagle emerged from the stone, the two birds rubbed each other's necks, and then the male eagle should spit out a dead small fish from his mouth and put it into the nest, everything is so harmonious and natural.

After arriving at the top of the hillside, looking at the Pearl Lake in the distance, there is a sense of sight of the blue waves, the distance is the clear and green Pearl Mountain, the continuous Pearl Mountain is surrounded by the north and southwest of the Pearl Lake on three sides, the east side is not far away is the turquoise Pearl Bay, a flock of birds pass by from the bay and the lake, a beautiful scene full of vitality.

"Brother, are those cranes, their long necks are so beautiful!" asked Gu Yu, pointing to a flock of long-legged white waterfowl in the wetland.

"No, that's the big egret, there is also a common name called the big white crane, but it is not the same species as the crane, the crane is the common name of the red-crowned crane, the tail feathers and feet are black, and the top of the head is red, so it is called the red-crowned crane. Great egrets like to live with cormorants and other egrets, you see the smaller ones are the little egrets, and those are cormorants. Yang Yi explained with a smile.

"I thought it was a crane, but is there a red-crowned crane here?" asked Gu Yu with some disappointment.

"Red-crowned cranes live in the northeast and north, we don't have them here, except for the black-necked cranes and red-necked cranes in the genus Cranes can be seen in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the rest of the cranes live in the north, and the cranes are not much different from this kind of big egret. ”

"What kind of birds are those birds with long beaks, are their feathers purple or blue?"

"How many of them?"

"Yes, there's a white, long mouth there, and the head is still red, and it's super beautiful!"

"They're not supposed to be here, aren't they?"

"Brother, what are you talking about, what the hell are those?" asked Gu Yu.

"If I'm not mistaken, those colored are painted ibis, those white names are even bigger, called crested ibis, painted ibises appear here is still possible, but crested ibises should not ah, wild ones live in the Qinling Mountains in southern Shaanxi, this is really a world-class protected animal, according to statistics, the world contains no more than 200 artificial breeding and breeding, wild estimates will not exceed double digits, it is too strange, crested ibises are only distributed in a place in Nanyang County, Shaanxi, have never heard of cross-border life, they do not like to mix with other birds, where does this come fromWhy is it here?" said Yang Yi as he looked at the crested ibis walking slowly in the shallow water by the lake.

"They're crested ibises, they're rarer than giant pandas, aren't they? There are more than 20 of them here, are you sure you're right?"

"That's why I'm surprised, I don't know when they came, this must be reported, not only they but also white-bellied frigates, painted ibises, crested grebes, sandpipers, etc., are relatively rare birds, just the crested ibis is enough to establish a nature reserve. I'll tell Mr. Li when I go back in a while, and there are people from the forestry department here, let them report it, and try not to make my entire Pearl Lake a protected area!" Yang Yi explained.

"Probably not, with your face among those experts now, any unit has to give you a face, just protect the birds without affecting their living environment, there is no need to be dogmatic enough to cancel all human activities, that kind of protection is not necessarily appropriate, don't you think they are living well now?" Tong Ling said.

"You're right, but most of these officials in Huaxia are so dogmatic, they still have to be guarded against, today Li Lao owes me a personal favor, so I have to let him help deal with this matter properly!"

"Brother, does this island have a name?" Gu Yu leaned over and asked.

"No, there are no people on the island here, so naturally no one has named them, you can help pick one, or how about calling it Guyu Island?" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"It's so ugly, don't you add an island to the back of people's names, Sister Ling, what do you say is the best name of this big island?

"You see so many birds here, there are not hundreds of species but dozens of species, they live here quietly and leisurely, just like living in paradise, why don't you call it Paradise Island?" Yang Yi, what do you think?"

"Hundred Birds Paradise, this name is good, it's quite appropriate, you can also take the other two together!" Yang Yi nodded in approval, he really thought the name was good.

"The one just now is dominated by wetlands, and there are the most beautiful birds on it, so it's better to call it Yicui Island, and the other one is similar, it's called Shiyun Island!"

"It's good, it's decided, I'll get a few stone tablets to stand up, Heaven, Poetry, Yicui, Bird Paradise in Pearl Lake!"
