Chapter 1026 (2/2)
In addition to the crested ibis, which is as rare as the giant panda, there are also rare birds such as geese and red-crowned cranes.
Everyone knows that the Chinese textbook for the first grade of primary school has the text of 'a flock of geese flying south', and I believe everyone has read it.
As you may know, today's poultry and geese are actually domesticated from geese.
Therefore, the wild goose is also called the wild goose, but it has another name, which you may be more familiar with, that is, the swan.
Wild geese, large migratory birds, belong to the national second-class protected animals.
The wild goose is a common name for the birds of the genus Wild Goose, and the common characteristics are that they are larger, the base of the beak is higher, the length and the length of the head are almost equal, the edge of the upper jaw has a strong tooth process, and the upper jaw hard sheath is strong, which occupies the entire upper jaw. There is no sarcoma in the frontal area and is streamlined. The neck is stubby and short, the wings are long and pointed, and the tail feathers are generally 16~18. The body feathers are mostly brown, gray or white.
In autumn and winter, they fly from Siberia in droves to the south of our country to spend the winter.
The following spring, they return to Siberia after a long journey to lay eggs for breeding. The flight speed of geese is very fast, they can fly 68~90 kilometers per hour, and they have to fly for a month or two for a long journey of thousands of kilometers.
The geese maintain a strict and neat formation, that is, they are arranged in a "person" or "one" shape. Because they fly all day long, the strength of a goose alone is not enough, and they must help each other in order to fly fast and far. When the vigorous wild goose flutters its wings and flies, the tip of the wing fanned a gust of wind, and sent it from below to the top, so that the little goose will be gently lifted, and the little goose will not be left behind after a long journey.
Generally the wild goose in front of it, is very powerful, very experienced, because the head goose flapping the wings, drive the airflow, if the line into a "human" shape or "one" shape to fly, the back of the wild goose will fly very easily, do not have to rest many times. During the flight, a low pressure area will be formed behind the head goose, and the wild goose that follows it can use this low pressure area to reduce the resistance of the air when flying. Beneficial to the ability to fly continuously for the entire group.
Wild geese fly back to the north to breed after the spring equinox and winter in the south after the autumn equinox.
Wild geese love, wild geese never live alone, and singular numbers rarely appear in a group of geese. When one dies, the other will commit suicide or die of depression, which is a very beloved animal.
Moreover, geese are adaptable, are omnivorous waterfowl, often inhabit the waterside or marshland where aquatic plants are clustered, and feed on some non-toxic, non-special smell of wild grasses, pastures, cereals, snails, shrimps, etc.
Except for geese
There are also a lot of waterfowl and ospreys.
The red-crowned crane has a beautiful form, just like an immortal in the sky, so it is also known as a crane in the Chinese folk, which symbolizes auspiciousness, longevity and loyalty.
Seeing the red-crowned crane, Zhang Feng instantly recalled that when he was a child, there was a picture of the pine crane in the hall of his family, even if more than 20 years have passed, he still has a deep impression.
Red-crowned cranes, like geese, are migratory birds, but their homeland is no longer in Siberia, but in the northeast of our country.
Every autumn and winter, they migrate thousands of miles to the warm south to spend the cold winters.
In addition to the wild goose red-crowned crane, there is also the crested ibis.
There are still many birds on the shore of Bainiao Lake, which have been carefully counted and observed by experts for two days.
According to preliminary statistics, the number of birds here is as high as 38 species, and even the crested ibis, which is as rare as the giant panda, has hundreds of them, which amazed the experts.
"It's really a hundred bird lake!!There are more than 30 species of birds!!"
"Well, there are not only rare birds such as crested ibis, geese and red-crowned cranes, but also a variety of aquatic animals and plants in the lake. ”
"Yes, the ecological chain here is quite complete, it is simply a natural treasure trove, it seems that the environmental protection of our country in recent years is really good!!"
I have the most feelings about this mountain master.
Think about 2000 years ago, when the fish and shrimp in Moon Lake were almost extinct, and even the mountain medicinal materials could only be collected in the mountains.
But with the closure of the mountain and the forest, after returning farmland to the forest, the environment in the village began to improve rapidly, but in just two or three years, the pheasants and hares that had disappeared appeared in everyone's sight again.
And with the rapid economic development in recent years, almost all the villagers have gone out to work, and the pressure on this land is much smaller, so the ecological environment has been restored rapidly, after more than ten or twenty years of restoration, the current Qinglong Mountain has gradually recovered its vitality, and has once again become a paradise for wild animals and plants.
On the shores of Lake Shiratori
Everyone stayed for two days, and the experts were completely attracted by the birds and aquatic flora and fauna here.
If it weren't for the limited time, it is estimated that many experts would want to continue to observe and study here, but unfortunately the Spring Festival is approaching, and after staying for two days, everyone had to go home and complete this important investigation.
On the morning of the ninth day,
After eating the small fish porridge cooked by Zhang Feng, everyone packed their luggage and walked out of the mountain, and the investigation finally came to an end.
"Master Runshan, are we going to go back the same way this time??" a mountain patrol member asked curiously.
"Hehe, how is it possible, if we want to go back the same way, we won't have to walk for a few days?" Ran Shanye shook his head with a smile and continued: "This time, let's continue to go east, it is estimated that we will go to Dongmen Town in the evening, and we can take the car home when we get there!!"
"Ah, this is so close to Dongmen Town??" Xiao Wang exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, if you can remember it, the next time you go to the mountain, you will probably have to test yourself. Running Mountain Lord said with a smile.
"Hehe, no problem, we all have the best marks on the way to the mountain master, thanks to your old leadership!!" As the captain of the mountain patrol team, Wang Lao said with a smile.
Boss Wang, like Xiao Wang, are both from Wangjia Village in the next county, and they have both joined the mountain patrol team, Boss Wang is also a medicine picker who often goes into the mountains, but because he is not very familiar with the deep mountains, he is generally only active in the outermost part of the Qinglong Mountain Range, which is much worse than running the mountain master and the old medicine uncle.
After this entry into the mountain, both Running Mountain Master and Zhang Feng are a little tired, especially for Running Mountain Master who is over seventy years old, both physically and mentally are a little unbearable, after all, it is ten days to enter the mountain this time, even if it is a perverted person like Zhang Feng, who is physically strong, his spirit is a little tired.
Therefore, after entering the mountain this time, the running mountain master is no longer ready to enter the mountain in the near future!!
At noon, everyone ate the buns brought by the sparrowhawk, and continued to hurry, and in the evening, finally arrived at Dongmen Town, at this time the bus from the reserve was already waiting here, everyone got on the bus, and returned to the village in less than half an hour.
So far, the nine-day trip has finally come to a successful conclusion.
