365. Migrating Birds (9/10)

The only thing Qin Shiou thought was meaningful to drive the sports car back to the fishing ground was his encouragement to Powell.

Powell has always wanted to be a racer, but the gap between ATV and racing is really big, so when he saw the cool Porsche 918, his eyes lit up.

Qin Shiou asked him to get into the car and search for feelings. Under his guidance, Powell started the car, roared in place for a while, and shivered all over excitedly, and kept asking, "Is this the feeling of racing? This is the feeling of driving a racing car?"

"What you have to do now is to study and exercise. Learning will develop your brain, and exercise will give you a strong body. After you get your driver's license, I will allow you to drive a sports car on the road!"

Qin Shiou drew a big pie for Powell. From that night, Powell became different from Gordon and others. He fought alone in the bedroom with his book in his arms, and when he encountered a problem he didn't know how to do it, he suddenly became hardworking.

Therefore, people are afraid of not pursuing. As long as they have pursuit and motivation, they will definitely be able to make achievements and achieve some results.

When I was sleeping at night, Qin Shiou felt that the outside of the villa was not peaceful, and there were often big white geese rattles or the sound of some birds flapping their wings.

But he didn't care, because it could not be a sneak attack by the Golden Eagle. First, the Golden Eagle did not have the habit of preying at night, and second, the tiger and leopard at the door did not yell, which obviously was not a big problem.

When he got up early in the morning, he went for a run with Winnie. As soon as Qin Shiou went out, his eyes widened.

I saw that in the fishing grounds near the south of the villa, there were brown and gray seabirds covered with brown and gray seabirds!

The Qin Shiou was covered with no exaggeration. These seabirds really appeared in the fishing grounds like overwhelming!

How many seabirds are there? Qin Shiou didn't know. He only knew that when some of these seabirds flew, they could cover the sky and the sun. These seabirds floated on the sea surface, covering the water surface near the entire fishing ground!

And what he saw was not the whole of the birds. There were also a steady stream of seabirds flying from the north and landing in the fishing ground one after another.

"What kind of bird is this?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.

He had never seen such seabirds. They were usually about twenty centimeters, and those with larger sizes could be thirty centimeters. They were spindle-shaped, with short necks, thin beaks, and hooks at the tip of the beak. They looked like gray-brown wild ducks, with long and narrow wings, like handfuls of sickles.

Shaq explained to him: "This is a short-tailed squid, boss, don't be surprised. This is the largest population of migratory birds in North America. Now we are seeing only their vanguards, and the real main force is behind."

Qin Shiou stared at Shaq in disbelief and asked, "Isn't this all?"

Shaq Egg Ding estimated it and said, "Every time you migrate, there are about four million short-tailed pisses in North America, and now there are at most 500,000, so this is obviously not all. You will only see the grand scene of all short-tailed pisses descending to the fishing ground in two days!"

"It's so spectacular! It's so incredible!"

After being shocked, Qin Shiou couldn't help but sigh and said, "I admit that this scene is shocking. But I don't think it's a good thing. The losses in the fishing ground are a bit big now."

It’s not that he is stingy. So many seabirds come to the fishing grounds, and they not only come to rest, but also come to hunt. It’s no exaggeration to say that after this group of seabirds invade, the fishing grounds have decreased by 10% to 20%.

Fortunately, the short-tailed squid is a small seabird. It is no more than 30 cm in size and has no effect on the big fish. If millions of golden eagles appear in the fishing ground, Qin Shiou can directly declare bankruptcy.

Auerbach walked out and sighed at these seabirds, saying, "I don't think we should be worried, but happy. Short-tailed crocodiles have not stayed in our fishing grounds for a long time. They are clever birds and will only stay in the waters with abundant food."

Hearing him say this, Shaq was happy and said, "Yes, a few years ago, the short-tailed pisses were in the waters east of St. Johns and then flew directly to the Cabernet Strait, and then to the near Seble Island. It has not stopped near our farewell island for a long time."

"So, is their arrival still a good thing?" Qin Shiou asked with a wry smile.

Although the fishing ground will only lose small fish and large fish will not easily float to the water, the fishing ground will still suffer considerable losses.

Shaq and Auerbach smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course it's a good thing. Boss, you don't have to bear the losses in the fishing ground. In another week, the birds will all leave. They won't eat our fish for nothing. They will leave us a gift, a great gift."

Qin Shiou asked what it was, but the group did not answer. Winnie seemed to know something, smiling next to her but not talking.

After getting up, the children found so many seabirds descending on the fishing ground. They were immediately excited and ran to the beach to chase the seabirds.

The happiest thing is the Labrador Retriever. Dogs and cats like to catch birds. Tigers and leopards run tirelessly on the beach, chasing the birds everywhere, without knowing that they are tired.

The arrival of birds is also a driving force for the tourism industry of bidding farewell to the island. Tourists were shocked. They who live in the steel city have never seen such a shocking natural scene?

The originally planned activities such as mountaineering and going out to sea were suspended. Tourists gathered on the coast and took photos frantically, leaving this shocking scene in their minds and cameras.

All restaurants and restaurants on the farewell island have launched new dishes, and various short-tailed stews have been prepared, such as braised, barbecued, fried, steamed and fried.

The short-tailed squid is very fat, with delicious meat from the birds, which is more delicious than the wild ducks and pheasants. However, because the government does not allow the large-scale capture of such birds, and they often migrate in large groups, they have not encountered an extinction crisis. Otherwise, the deliciousness of this bird would have been eaten up long ago.

Although Europe and the United States keep calling for species protection, in fact, there are far more extinct wild species than the Chinese.

As Shaq said, in the next two days, more and more short-tailed pisses flew over, and these birds occupied the entire waters around the farewell island. Every time they flew up and went into the deep sea to hunt, it would bring people a sense of shock that black clouds were pressing against the city.

Short-tailed squids mainly feed on seaweed, shrimps and small marine fish. Foraging is mainly carried out on the sea surface and often forage while swimming.

They have strong wings, can fly to the deep sea and then float on the sea to rest, and their predation steps can penetrate deep into every part of the sea.

On the third day after the bird flock arrived, Hamre found Qin Shiou and told him good news: "Qin, according to government regulations, if a large-scale flock of birds descends in a private fishing ground, the fishing ground owners can receive subsidies, and about ten seabirds subsidize one Canadian dollar a day."

"Who can count how many sea birds are there?" Qin Shiou understood. No wonder Shaq and the others said before that the losses in the fishing ground were not to bear, and there was a Canadian government.

What he is more interested in is what kind of gifts these seabirds will bring him in a week? (To be continued)
