96. The crane is coming

Chen Song walked along the glacial lake for a while, found a solid ground protruding from the lake, and then instructed Goble to drive the big Ford pickup truck over.

Then, he leaned on the front of the big Ford pickup truck and took a sip of an ice drink.

Looking up, there were blue skies and white clouds, the sun was shining, and when he looked up, there were microwaves rippling, birds flying and fish jumping, and he felt that this scene would always be remembered in his heart.

But it wasn't enough to just remember it, he glanced at Goble quietly: "What are you doing next to you? Go and borrow a camera to take a picture of me!"

He hasn't pretended to be forced in the circle of friends for a few days, and his hands are already ready to move and can't wait.

Francete unloaded a small boat from the car, then spread protective plastic sheet on the edge of the lake, and together they pushed the boat into the water, and the two brothers rowed the boat to find the ice.

Brother Dao was running around by the lake, and suddenly he screamed.

At its call, two birds spread their wings and flew into the sky, and one of them circled twice before swooping down, sweeping over Brother Dao's head at great speed and pulling up again.

At the same time, another bird hovering in the air flew down, and it also flew over Brother Dao's head at high speed like a torpedo attack.

In this way, the two birds took turns to swoop and fly towards Brother Dao, driving Brother Dao out step by step.

Chen Song asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

Goble stared at the two birds for a while, and said, "This is the long-tailed skua gull, it must be Brother Dao who discovered their nest, and in order to protect their eggs, they expelled Brother Dao." ”

Chen Song walked over, Brother Dao suddenly became extremely fierce when he saw him coming, as if he was possessed by a tiger spirit in an instant, it majestically exploded the hair on the back of its neck, and roared with its head held high: "Wangwang!"

"Alright, you. Chen Song couldn't do it with contempt.

Sure enough, he found a simple bird's nest in a stone mound, that is, a layer of small branches mixed with some dried grass blades, which was simply a rotten building in a bird's nest.

Contrary to what Goble said, there were no eggs in the nest, but a nest of small birds, six or seven white birds.

Chen Song asked in surprise, "This is the long-tailed skuas?"

Gobble nodded and said, "That's right, this is the chick of the long-tailed skua gull." ”

"But they don't look too alike, don't they? Did the female bird have sex with Lao Wang?" said Chen Song, looking up at the long-tailed skua with dark brown feathers.

Goble grinned, "I won't be mistaken, because when I was a child, I used to catch these birds to play, and these are the chicks of the long-tailed skua gull." ”

The birds have grown their feathers, but they can't fly yet.

A group of little ones are quite fierce when they stay together, and they are not afraid of intruders at all, and they are chattering non-stop.

Chen Song dragged Brother Dao away, he was afraid that the long-tailed skua couple would misunderstand, and then ignore this nest of birds.

After a while, Corey and Franceti came back with a large ice floe, and it was time to get to work.

As the ice approached the lake, Goble began to cut the ice with a chainsaw.

These ice cubes formed by the condensation of snow are harder, clearer, and more valuable than ordinary ice cubes.

"These ice blocks are very old, and if they came from the bottom of the glacier, they must be hundreds of thousands of years old. ”

Chen Song was surprised: "Really, it's an eye-opener." ”

"But I estimate that they are only tens of thousands of years old, and if it is a few hundred thousand years of bottom ice, then the chainsaw will be very difficult," said Corey. ”

The ice cubes were broken up, and Chen Song put on his gloves and began to carry them to the trolley.

Because these ice cubes are meant to be eaten by humans, they cannot be contaminated at all, and they will be inspected by the food security department in the future.

They were busy with their work, Luo Bingxin turned his head by chance, and suddenly covered his mouth and shouted, "Wow, what kind of bird is this?"

Chen Song stood up and looked back, and saw four big birds standing not far away, they were standing on the ground half a person tall, their whole body was gray and brown, their bodies were exactly the same as some cranes, their necks were slender, their legs were slender like hemp rods, and their huge wings were elegantly placed on both sides of their bodies, gathering together like people and staring at them curiously.

Corey, who was carrying the ice, lit up his eyes and said: "This is the Sandhill Crane, we are lucky to have encountered the Sandhill Crane, it is rare to see them in Iceland, maybe this flock of birds flew from Greenland, Greenland is their territory." ”

The sandhill crane was very bold, and when he saw that a few people ignored them, one of the sandhill cranes took steps closer to the car.

Chen Song saw at this time that the walking posture of this big bird was very interesting, just like the protagonist of "Despicable Me", Shalu, their bodies shrunk together like a human body, plus the same hemp pole and long legs, it was really godlike.

Suddenly, a sandhill crane ran away, much like an ostrich, and ran very fast.

The sandhill crane ran a few long steps and then pecked its head out of the ground, and then a fat mouse appeared in its mouth.

Chen Song was surprised: "Cranes still eat mice, don't they eat grass seeds or something?"

"Eat grass seeds?" Corey shrugged, "I don't know, I know the Sandhill Crane likes to peck at rats. ”

When a block of ice breaks down, the Corey brothers row a boat to find a new one.

Chen Song had nothing to do, so he sat in the car and cultivated immortals.

A dog bark woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't see Brother Dao at first, but saw two white heads wearing red hats: two sandhill cranes walked up to him and looked at him curiously.

Brother Dao thought that the sandhill crane was going to attack him, so he bravely rushed to the rescue, and his way of rescue was to howl by jumping around.

The sandhill cranes are not aggressive, they just have a curiosity that is rare among birds, and the two sandhill cranes observe him closely, their eyelids blinking, and there is no fierceness in their black eyes.

Chen Song tentatively stretched out his hand, and a sandhill crane suddenly put its head in the palm of his hand.

This made him very happy, and he quickly glanced left and right: Hurry up and take pictures!

Gradually, two other cranes came up to him, waving their long necks around him.

Chen Song had never seen such a scene? But he was so happy.

Luo Bingxin hurriedly ran over after seeing this scene, she also wanted to have a close contact with the sand hill crane.

As a result, when she got closer, the four sand hill cranes all spread their wings and soared into the air: "Hulala!"

All flew away......

Luo Bingxin was depressed, and she asked Chen Song pitifully, "What's going on with them? Isn't the fat girl not only not liked by people, but also by birds?"

Chen Song shook his head firmly and said, "Of course not." ”

What he said was from the bottom of his heart, Luo Bingxin's personality was quite likable.

Luo Bing said sadly: "You are comforting me, most people don't like fat girls." ”

Chen Song said: "Most of them, even if 90% of people don't like fat girls, then there are 7 billion people in the world, so there are still 700 million people who like it!"

This worked, and Luo Bingxin laughed: "Brother Chen, thank you for your comfort, but I am a little inflated when you say this, it turns out that our fat girls have such a potential market." ”

Chen Song hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You can't expand anymore, if you expand again, your potential market will not be so big." ”
