Chapter 1046 White Bird Lake (12)

jiji! !
jiji! !
Suddenly everyone heard the cries of chicks in the nest of the golden eagle on the cliff.

"It's a little bird, ah! No, it's a baby eagle!!"

These experts were overjoyed, they did not expect to find baby eagles here, which shows that there are more than one golden eagles in Eagle Rock, at least two adult golden eagles, and several newborn golden eagles.

This is amazing, everyone actually discovered a family of golden eagles, but now it seems that the injured golden eagle just now should be a female eagle, and the male golden eagle is not there, probably out for food.

Sure enough, after everyone observed under the cliff for about half an hour, a bigger golden eagle finally flew back to the nest.

You can vaguely see that it is still holding a mass of minced meat under its claws, probably torn from the prey it just killed.

However, with the return of the male golden eagle, it seemed that he also found that the female eagle was injured. After some chatter, the male eagle became furious when he understood the situation.

Swooping down the cliff, it flew straight towards the sparrowhawk not far away.

However, the sparrowhawk did not show any weakness, and immediately soared into the sky, heading straight into the sky. In an instant, an eagle and an eagle were entangled and dancing in the sky, and a big battle was about to begin.

"Can Xiaofeng stop them??" Professor Zhou asked Zhang Feng worriedly.

Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly: "Probably not, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, even if I let Xiaoque leave now, the golden eagle probably won't let it go!"

Seeing that Professor Zhou's brows were frowning even more, Zhang Feng quickly comforted him: "Professor Zhou, don't worry, my little sparrow is very measured, and it shouldn't hurt the golden eagle too much, and I'm still here !"

"Alright then!!" Professor Zhou nodded helplessly, thinking that was the only way to go! !

Just when the two raptors were about to go to war.

Suddenly there was a rush of shouts from the cliff.

The male golden eagle looked up the cliff when he heard it, and then looked at the sparrowhawk on one side. After hesitating for a while, he finally flew back to his nest.

Sparrowhawk has a gentle personality. Seeing the golden eagle leave, it immediately flew back, standing on the branch as if nothing had happened, combing its feathers, not paying attention to the confrontation just now.

Seeing this, everyone below breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the war did not break out, otherwise it would be bad if the male golden eagle was injured.

"It seems that the female golden eagle stopped it!"

"Tsk tsk! I didn't expect this female golden eagle to be so smart. She knew that her husband would not be able to beat her husband, so she hurriedly called the male golden eagle back!"

Seeing the female bird on the cliff calling the male bird back, everyone couldn't help being amazed. They didn't expect animals to have such intelligence, and they would immediately admit defeat when they knew they couldn't fight. Being able to bend and stretch is indeed one of the survival rules in the animal world.

Due to limited time, everyone observed at Eagle Rock for a whole morning and then left, continuing to other places.

"Master Paoshan, is Bainiao Lake coming soon??"

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone had already shuttled through the mountains for more than two hours, and they were so tired that they could hardly hold on.

"Hehe, it's almost time, it will take half an hour at most!" Master Paoshan smiled and encouraged everyone to come.

"Half an hour!" Hearing that there was still half an hour left, the experts gritted their teeth and continued to insist.

At this time, not only everyone's tents were carried on Zhang Feng's shoulders, but also the luggage of several old professors, which were more than three meters long, and the fir poles with the thickness of the mouth of the bowl were crushed and creaked.

From this point of view, the things on his shoulders weigh at least three or four hundred catties, but at this time everyone has become numb, and they are no longer as shocked as they were at the beginning. The natural power has become everyone's first influence on him.

"Xiaofeng, I wish I had your strength!" A mountain patrol member was sweating profusely with a bag of [-] to [-] kilograms, and seeing Zhang Feng's relaxed expression, he shook his head.

"It's natural, and I can't help it!" Zhang Feng replied with a smile.

"Come on, Xiao Wang, you haven't graduated from elementary school. Even if someone has the strength of Xiaofeng, what can you do? Isn't it the life of moving bricks?" At this moment, another mountain patrol member joked .

"Oh, that's true. We just suffered from being uneducated. It seems that we can only work hard in this life!!" Xiao Wang shook his head with a wry smile.

Everyone was joking with each other, chatting while walking, but it was not so dull, and finally came to Bainiao Lake before we knew it.

Bainiao Lake, as the name suggests, is because there are flocks of birds here, and it is a gathering place for wild small birds in Qinglong Mountain.

When we came to the lake, we saw a mighty lake appearing in front of our eyes.

Although it is already winter at this time, the reeds in Bainiao Lake are still lush, and the water plants are lush, and the nests of birds can be seen everywhere in the reeds in the lake.

Hundreds of birds are flying in the sky, and on the wetland by the lake, one after another is scratching the ground, looking for delicious food.

White waterfowl, black geese, and countless unknown birds gather here to spend the cold winter in this beautiful lake.

"Ah!! Everyone, look at the red-crowned cranes, there are a lot of red-crowned cranes over there!!"

"Wow, what is that? Is that a crested ibis?? I didn't expect there to be a crested ibis!!"

The experts were all stunned. They didn't expect that there was such a place deep in the primeval forest.

Not to mention wild geese and red-crowned cranes, although they are also very rare, they are not as precious as the endangered crested ibis.

Crested ibis! !

That is a rare bird that is almost extinct.

The crested ibis was called ibis and red ibis in ancient times, and the crested ibis is a species endemic to East Asia.Medium size, white body feathers, long willow-shaped crest on the back occiput, bare skin from forehead to cheeks, bright red; during breeding season, use beak to continuously peck the gray pigment secreted from neck muscles, and apply it to the head The head, neck, upper back and two wing feathers make it grayish black.

Crested ibises mainly inhabit sparse forest areas at an altitude of 1200-1400 meters, wading in nearby streams, swamps and rice fields, wandering for food such as small fish, crabs, frogs, snails and other aquatic animals, as well as eating insects;

Rest and sleep on tall trees; resident birds, wander in small groups to low mountains and plains in autumn and winter; start to build nests from April to May, breed one nest every year, and lay 4-5 eggs per nest. It is hatched and brooded by its parents. The hatching period is about 2 days, and it leaves the nest in 4 days. It is sexually mature at 30 years old, and the longest lifespan recorded is 40 years.

It was once widely distributed in East Asia, but due to environmental deterioration and other factors, the population declined sharply. By the 20s, there were only 80 wild populations at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains in Yang County, Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, my country. After artificial breeding, the population It has reached more than 7 (2000), of which the number of wild populations has exceeded 2014. The distribution area of ​​crested ibis has expanded from southern Shaanxi to Nanhe, East China and other places.
