"The first time I saw this little bird, the head was black and white, very beautiful!" On the 27th, Song Yongguo, a mobile phone reporter of Harbin Daily, told reporters that he caught a "new guy" in the Qunli Bund wetland, a bird that loves to eat catalpa fruits and is lively and active, which has never been found before, and the number is less than 10.
It is understood that Song Yongguo is a "bird shooting master", who has loved birds and protected birds for decades and "chased" various birds in Ice City, and in the process of shooting on the Bund in Qunli for the past two days, he accidentally captured the "new guests" from the wetland, "Is it the beauty and food here that attract them." ”
What exactly is the "coming" of this bird? The reporter interviewed Xu Qing, a professor at the College of Wildlife and Nature Reserves of Northeast Forestry University, who said that this was a bald-headed quail, which was originally not found in Harbin and was found for the first time.
It is understood that the white-headed quail, also known as the "white-headed plover", is a small bird of the finches of the family Finches, a songbird, black from the forehead to the top of the head, and white above the eyes to the back pillow, forming a white pillow ring, so it is named. The bald eagle is lively, not afraid of people, often groups on fruit trees, and is a national "three haves" protected wild animal.
Xu Qing told reporters that the white-headed quail is a common bird in most areas of the southern Part of the Yangtze River, and in recent years this bird has a tendency to continue to "go north", and has investigated and found that the white-headed quail has been distributed in Shenyang, Liaoning, Tieling and Chifeng, Hohhot in Inner Mongolia. This time the citizens photographed the bald eagle in the urban area, and it is still uncertain whether they are breeding locally, it is possible that this "small" white-headed quail is affected by the recent violent fluctuations in the temperature in the southern part of the northeast, and in the process of migration, "yaw" occurred, and then flew from elsewhere to Harbin City, and will fly away in a few days. However, if the bald eagle is still found next summer, it means that the bird is actually distributed in Harbin.
Experts say that the white-headed quail, sparrow and green embroidered eye are collectively known as the "three treasures of the city", which is omnivorous, can eat a large number of agricultural and forestry pests, and is a bird of agriculture and forestry, which is worth protecting. The species has a large distribution range and continues to extend to the north, and it is good to really "settle down" in Ice City.
