Birds that are eating.
On March 1 (Sunday), it has been 18 days since we came to Xianning for a front-line interview, and we who have been busy with the interview and reporting work have rarely had a little leisure time. Our place of residence is adjacent to Xiangwu Mountain, dense trees, the ecological environment is also better, remembered a few days ago in the balcony outside the room put a little dry food has been eaten by the birds, this morning tried to put some food, there are apple grains and small twist flower crumbs, I heard that the small twist flower is a local specialty of Xianning, apples are fruits, must be more suitable for the taste of the birds here.
At 8:30 a.m., after Li Rong and I put away the food, we prepared a 200 mm doubling lens lens, which was hidden behind the curtains of the room window to "guard the window and wait for the birds", and from time to time there were birds chirping outside, but there were no birds to eat, was it still not hidden? There is no tripod to hold the camera, and soon there will be sore hands and arms, "hold on, hold on again" I kept saying to myself, "When I have the hardest time, the more I can't relax." Suddenly, I remembered this "epidemic" discourse. After more than 20 minutes, finally a small bird flew to the platform very alertly, looked around and walked towards the food, "click" and "click" when taking photos, very worried about starting the bird, and then came one, two, three, four... Quickly change to the mode of shooting videos, birds or apples, or eat small twist flowers, my heart is also excited to blossom. The bird may have also noticed an unusual noise and another eye staring at them, and flew away in a moment, although a little regretful, but also very satisfied.
It turns out that the scientific name of this bird is the bald eagle, also known as the bald eagle.
Watching the videos and photos taken with Li Rong, I remembered the scene of feeding the red-billed gulls in Kunming, there are no red-billed gulls here, but there are cute birds with us, which feels particularly kind. Through the bird recognition software to help us find out the name of the bird, the original bird scientific name is the white-headed grebe, also known as the bald eagle, belongs to the small birds of the family Finches, for songbirds, is also a migratory bird that migrates south in the north in winter, eating insects, seeds and fruits, is omnivorous, because of the predation of a large number of agricultural and forestry pests, it is listed as one of the agricultural and forestry birds, and it is a bird worth protecting. It's a long sight.
Birds rest leisurely on the branches.
Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the topic of banning the consumption of wild game and protecting wild animals has attracted attention and become a hot topic. Being on the front line of the fight against the "epidemic", at this time, we also feel a lot, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic has once again awakened people: protect wild animals, put an end to wild meat, they do not belong to the table. Take good care of them and share a harmonious and beautiful world with human beings.
