Duchang Rain, snow and freezing weather feed migratory birds

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-25

In order to help migratory birds survive the low-temperature, freezing, rain and snow weather, on February 22, more than 10 staff members of the Duchang County Forestry Bureau and the Duchang County Migratory Bird Protection Administration pulled the rice to the lake with a car, and carried bags of rice into the Maying Lake Lake area, specifically entering the lake area for artificial feeding.

According to Yuan Mingming, the director of the wildlife protection station, migratory birds will start flying north in another month, and now is an important period for fattening and energy storage, and a lot of energy is needed to migrate northward, but the cooling makes some lakes and grasslands freeze, which greatly compresses the foraging space of migratory birds, so they will cooperate with the Migratory Bird Protection Administration to send migratory birds to the north in a timely manner.

It is understood that in order to grasp the impact of low temperature rain and snow on migratory birds at any time, the Duchang County Migratory Bird Protection Administration has increased its patrol efforts to patrol the lake. From the monitoring in recent days, there are still nearly 200,000 migratory birds, and the number has not decreased. The only concern now is that if the lake continues to freeze in the later period, it will be more difficult for birds to forage for food. Shi Pingping, deputy secretary of the Duchang County Migratory Bird Protection Administration, said that in the near future, he will increase patrols to monitor the survival of migratory birds. If the lake continues to freeze, artificial feeding will continue; When the ice melts, the "food shortage" of migratory birds can be solved. (Duchang County Forestry Bureau, Quartz Ping).
