Chief Reporter Gong Weifang In winter, in the rippling Pujia Lake in Xi'an Chanba National Wetland Park, egrets "danced" together, and on the island in the middle of the lake, several white-boned chickens rested comfortably in the sun...In this migratory bird migration season, many migratory birds that were originally just passing by have even become "resident birds" because of the beautiful habitat here.
Anjia Ancient City Transformed into a "permanent resident".
Every year before entering the winter, as the temperature drops, most of the migratory birds have embarked on a journey to the south, Xi'an is located in the middle of the three major bird migration routes in China, so it has become a transit station and a stopover point for many migratory birds. In addition, in recent years, the ecological environment has continued to improve, and some perennial migratory birds have chosen to stay, such as spot-billed ducks, green-winged ducks, night herons, herons, egrets, etc., which have all been transformed into "permanent residents".
According to monitoring records, more and more birds have stayed in the area of Xi'an Chanba National Wetland Park in recent years. Cao Chunmei, a bird monitor at Xi'an Chanba National Wetland Park, said: "There are 193 species, more than 1.6 million square meters of vegetation in the park, more than 110 islands of all sizes, rich in water resources, and the highest negative oxygen ions in the air reach 1With 780,000 units, the natural environment is perfect for a variety of birds. At present, the peak number of birds monitored in the park has reached tens of thousands (times), with more than 130 species, and the species and number of migratory birds have increased a lot compared with previous years, and the ecological effect of the wetland has gradually emerged. Migratory birds have become 'resident birds', from 'tourists' to 'residents', reflecting the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, which also shows that the ecological environment is getting better and better, and it is more suitable for birds to survive and reproduce. ”
The environment is suitable, and the wetland "hukou" is popular.
During the interview, the reporter found an interesting phenomenon, in Pujia Lake, spot-billed ducks, green-winged ducks, and ordinary sand autumn ducks fly to the surface of the water, herons, wild geese, etc. shuttle in the meantime, winter migratory birds and "resident birds" are mixed together, a harmonious scene.
Every spring, the advance force of migratory birds should begin to migrate north, returning to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia and Siberia to breed. But now many migratory birds seem to have Xi life here, and although winter turns to spring, they are indifferent. Cao Chunmei said with a smile that more and more migratory birds do not want to leave, and Xi'an's "hukou" is becoming more and more attractive to them.
In order to allow more birds to better live and forage, the staff of Xi'an Chanba National Wetland Park have put a lot of effort into it. In view of the fact that there are many birds inhabiting the island in the middle of the lake in the park, strict protection measures are taken in the area, and a large number of native tree species or herbs are used for vegetation restoration, and diversified plants provide shelter for birds and provide food at the same time. By lowering the water fall, the water level of Pujia South Lake is lowered, attracting a large number of egrets, herons, night herons, black-winged stilts and other wading birds to forage and inhabit here; The wild fun area of the original open mode is closed and managed, and a conservation area is set up to keep a safe distance between wild birds and visitors, reduce human interference, and provide safe breeding places for birds; According to the living Xi of birds, the plant community of "quasi-forest" was adopted to form an ecological model of organic combination of songbirds, migratory birds and wading birds. After the migration of cormorants in March and April each year, the acidic droppings left behind by the park are treated to protect the trees and soil in the park and ensure that the birds' habitat is not affected.
With the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, the public's awareness of bird love and bird protection has improved, the species and number of birds in the park have increased year by year, and the biodiversity has been continuously enriched, and the natural environment in which we live will also be improved, which is a two-way rush between birds and ecology. Cao Chunmei said.
