There are two main types of birds that spend the winter in the Heihe River, one is the resident birds living in the Heihe area, mainly ring-necked pheasants, magpies, sparrows, etc.; the other is the winter migratory birds that bring their families to the Heihe River area in winter to "vacation", and the common ones are peacebirds, white-waisted crested birds, and raptors.
The areas where different species of birds are active are also different, most of them are concentrated in the forest edges of forest areas, the forest belt around farmland, and the suburban areas, but some birds of prey are also active in these areas, forming a food chain, adapting to the natural "natural selection, survival of the fittest" law, while also maintaining ecological balance.
In recent years, with the increase of protection efforts and the enhancement of people's awareness of bird love, the ecological environment of Heihe has become better. More and more migratory birds regard the Black River as a destination or stopover for travel.
Let's take care of them with our hearts! These cute little creatures.
