Chapter 314: So confused
Mountains and mountains, clouds and clouds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
From the top of the peak, the scenery is stunning.
"Weiwei, let me tell you, the sea of clouds is just right today, maybe we can meet the Buddha's light." A young man with a long camera in his hand said to his female companion next to him.
"Really?"
"Of course, your brother Tao is a professional photographer, where the scenery is good, where you can take beautiful photos, it is all clear." Brother Tao was triumphant, and the woman looked at it with admiration, and her eyes were watery.
"Brother Tao, you teach others how to take pictures." The woman also has a long shot hanging around her neck.
"Good, good!"
Brother Tao pointed to the woman's framing, adjusting the aperture and focus, and took the opportunity to rub it one by one, as if there was no oil, the woman seemed to be unaware, and she studied very seriously, except for studying, the others didn't care.
The woman's camera was looking around, and she suddenly exclaimed.
"Brother Tao, that bird over there is so big!"
Brother Tao took a look, and there was indeed a big bird hovering on a mountain in the distance, looking like a hunting eagle.
"There are eagles in this place?" Brother Tao muttered, picked up his camera and glanced over.
Through the magnification of the lens, the big bird immediately appeared clearly in front of him, this is a very large bird, with long wings stretched straight, riding the mountain wind to constantly hover in the mountains.
Click!
Click!
Brother Tao chose a few suitable angles to record the image of the big bird.
"This kind of bird is not common, the angle and background are good, and if you submit it, you may be able to make it on the cover."
"Really?"
"Of course, Brother Tao has published a lot of photos."
"Brother Tao is really powerful...... the mountain wind seemed to be fierce, and the woman involuntarily shrank into Brother Tao's arms......
。。。。。。。。
"Editor-in-chief! This photo is good, do you see? With that, the editor-in-charge forwarded the photo to the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief received the photo, opened it, and immediately nodded, this photo is really good, the background is well chosen, the green mountains and green waters are matched with the eagle flying with wings, the whole composition immediately becomes vivid and vivid, and the picture is full of vitality.
"Yes, this issue is the best photo, put it on the cover."
。。。。。。。。。
"Teacher! What kind of bird is this? "A graduate student asked his supervisor with a magazine.
Taking the magazine, the cover of the magazine showed a bird gliding in the mountains, and the professor looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became.
"This breed of bird feels very unfamiliar, I shouldn't have seen it before, did you say where you found it?" The professor asked.
"Nope!"
"You call the magazine and see if they know. I checked the database, is this a newly discovered species? ”
I didn't have a lot of effort, and the graduate student asked the magazine.
"Teacher, the magazine said that this photo was taken in Fanjing Mountain."
"Fanjing Mountain...... Is it Guizhou Province? The professor asked uncertainly.
"That's right, it's Guizhou Province."
“...... The professor tried to recall ...... Guizhou Province, "There is no such bird in Guizhou Province!" ”
Unable to find his memory, the professor began to search the database, searching for bird population records in Guizhou Province and searching for the bird atlas of the Great Yuan Empire.
However, after carefully rummaging, he still did not find any similar bird species.
Could it be a newly discovered species?
The professor was a little puzzled and a little surprised, if this was really a newly discovered species, then as long as he published it first, he would have the right to name it, and there were many other benefits attached to it.
But before that, it is necessary to find out the habitat, population size, living habits and so on.
Just as I was thinking about it, a phone call came in, and the professor took it to see that it was an old classmate, who was currently a researcher at the Jinmen Bird Research Center.
"Old money! How did you remember to call me? ”
"It's been a long time since I've been in touch, so I'll give you a call."
"Oh!"
"By the way, I would like to ask you something."
"You say!"
"I sent you a video on WeChat, you can take a look."
The professor opened WeChat strangely, and the video was a bird constantly circling, and the professor could see at a glance that this was the same species as the bird on the cover of the magazine.
"Where was this video filmed?" The professor asked.
"Fujian Province, to be precise, southeast Fujian."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Have you ever seen a bird like this?"
"No, but I have a magazine I just got with a picture of the bird."
"Do you know where the photo was taken?"
"The photo was taken in Guizhou Province."
“...... How can you tell? ”
"It should be a new variety, and I have no record of it in the database."
"yes, I didn't find it either."
"Have you asked the Ornithology Institute of the Academy of Sciences?"
"I asked, and they said that someone had photographed this bird on a plane a while ago, and they were wondering."
"Do you know the specific data for this bird?"
"I don't know, the birds say that this bird is quite large, and the wingspan should be about three or four meters."
"No wonder there are so many sightings, it's hard for such a big bird not to attract attention."
"This bird is supposed to be a long-distance migratory bird, it can fly up the stratosphere, and it is estimated to be similar to whooper swans."
"Unlikely, how can such a large migratory bird not have any records? It stands to reason that many people have seen it. ”
"You're asking me, I'm wondering too."
"Old Qian, how did you analyze it from the bird house? What about yourself? ”
"Even if it is not a migratory bird, it should be a large-scale bird, and judging by its wings, it is obviously suitable for long-distance gliding. The shape of its wings is very strange, very similar to that of an albatross bird, with obvious seabird characteristics. ”
"How do you judge its diet?"
"What do you think?"
"I tend to think of it as herbivorous, or filter-feeding. Its beak is relatively flat, which is consistent with the characteristics of herbivorous or filter-fed birds. And its wings are suitable for gliding, not for diving, not for sudden acceleration, and not for heavy take-off, which is clearly different from the falcon wings, which should not be the wings of a predatory bird. ”
"Well, that's how we judged, it doesn't have webbed feet and should belong to land-based birds......"
The two exchanged views with each other and found that everyone's judgment was basically the same, and basically framed that this should be a migratory bird very similar to the habits of whooper swans.
Now the question is, where is it?
No matter where this large bird appears, it is relatively easy to be spotted, and with the population of the Great Yuan Empire, it is almost impossible to find a completely untouched habitat.
As long as this bird exists, it is impossible to hide from people's eyes, and it will inevitably leak in front of people, why has there been no record of this bird before?
I'm so confused......
