Feng Yi stared blankly at the bird that flew into the yard. Although he didn't recognize it, the alert radar was already beeping.
As soon as I finished speaking, it was quite quiet here, but I was slapped in the face.
Moreover, I always feel that this situation... seems familiar?
On the other side of the phone, Qian Feiyang didn't hear Feng Yi's voice and asked, "What's wrong? There seems to be a strange sound? Is there another bird flying to your house?"
“Hmm.” Feng Yi still stared over there.
“Is it the more famous kingfisher over there that you just mentioned?”
“No. I’ll deal with some other things first, and we’ll talk about it when I have time.”
discussed]
After talking on the phone, Feng Yi looked over.
Xiao Ding, who was working as a gardener in the yard, heard the commotion and had already gone to the koi pond.
Seeing Xiao Ding pass by, Feng Yi did not rush downstairs to check the situation. Instead, he turned on the camera function of his mobile phone and took a few photos in succession.
The photos taken are quite clear and the camera is powerful.
The bird that landed in the koi pond noticed Xiao Ding's approach, flapped its wings and flew around the yard. After a while, it took off again and flew towards the green lake next to it.
Feng Yi stood on the terrace and watched the bird fly down to the surface of Green Lake.
There were tourists on the shore of the lake who were admiring the scenery on the lake. When they saw the bird flying down, they exclaimed and said something to their companions. Others took their mobile phones and stepped onto the lake boardwalk and approached the direction of the bird.
Then Feng Yi saw the bird soaring far across the lake as if it was equipped with a turbine.
Confirmed, this bird is a speed type.
The bird flew away, but Feng Yi did not feel relieved. He always felt that trouble was coming again.
Withdrawing his gaze, Feng Yi opened the mobile phone application developed by the UN Security Bureau to identify species, and selected a few photos he had just taken for identification.
The bird that flew into the koi pond was about half a meter long, with a black back, mostly white and gray body, and some scaly patterns on the body. The neck and head were dark green, and there was a fluffy crest on the back of the head, as if it had been
The electric-shocked Shamate hairstyle is extremely flamboyant.
Perhaps the sun was too bright today, and the angle and timing of the shooting were chosen too cleverly. The dark green feathers on the head and neck of the bird reflected a dazzling metallic luster in the sunlight, especially the upturned feathers on the back of the head.
There are a few roots, and the green color is particularly arrogant.
Feng Yi had never seen this kind of bird before.
Watching the "Photo Recognition in Progress" icon rotate, the recognition program automatically enlarges part of the photo and conducts secondary recognition of the patterned parts of the target's body.
【It is found that there are few overwintering records of Chinese Mergansers in your area at the moment. If you find out, please contact the relevant local agencies immediately. Telephone...】
Below is a long list of landline numbers for different organizational departments, as well as multiple landline numbers for the same department.
“Chinese Merganser? Duck?”
Feng Yi’s eyes paused for a moment on the words “National Key Protected Wild Animals”.
In the courtyard, Xiao Ding asked: "Boss, what kind of bird was that bird that flew past in the yard just now?"
Feng Yi: "Sitting on the bottom of the cell is a duck!"
Xiao Ding almost threw the pruning shears he was holding in his hand away.
“国……国一?”
“Guoyi.” Feng Yi nodded.
Xiao Ding was lucky. Fortunately, he didn't catch it just now. He accidentally used too much force. If something happened to that bird...duck, he didn't know how much trouble he would get into!
“Next time I see it, just call Xiao Bing over. He is more experienced!” Xiao Ding said.
Feng Yi responded, opened the photo on his phone just now, and clicked on the more detailed information linked to the identification page:
【Not every species of merganser is called Chinese merganser】
Compare some features in the photos.
Confirmed, it is indeed the Chinese Merganser.
The mouth is sharper and has a hook, making it easier to catch fish.
The duck just captured in the photo has very clear scaly patterns on its body. This scaly pattern is also the most eye-catching feature of this species.
According to the data, this kind of duck does not chirp frequently and is not too noisy.
Actually, there is only one like this. Even if it sings, its impact is limited, and it doesn’t squat in his house all the time.
but!
Is there really only one?
Chinese Mergansers fly from north to south in winter.
Feng Yi looked into the sky.
Sure enough, the large army arrived belatedly.
The leading duck and fish have already eaten a few fish, and the ones behind have just arrived.
Feng Yi estimated that twenty or thirty Chinese Mergansers flew from above and landed on the surface of Cuihu Lake.
Some of this group of ducks look the same as the one just now, but their heads are darker and not so green. Some are different in color, with their heads brown and yellow.
Feng Yi flipped back to the identification page just now.
The duck eating koi that I just identified is a male, so in their wintering team, the one with another color may be a female?
But these are not important at the moment.
Feng Yi directly sent a message to Wei Hongxi, sending him the photo he just took and the screenshot of the identification page.
Although the identification page provides the phone numbers of many departments, Feng Yi knows the people at the Joint Security Bureau and sends them directly, and they will naturally solve the problem efficiently.
Sure enough, less than 10 seconds after I sent it, Wei Hongxi called me.
“Are you sure you just took these photos at home? There is only one?” Wei Hongxi said excitedly.
“There was only one just now, but now there is a group of them, about twenty or thirty, and they have flown to Green Lake. Many tourists have seen them there. I’ll take a video for you.”
There were people playing on the shore of the lake. The ducks that flew over ran away from the crowd, but the camera was powerful, and Feng Yi was still able to capture them. The captured images were a bit blurry, but they were enough to see what he wanted to see.
Feng Yi originally thought that Wei Hongxi would contact the relevant departments and only send people to solve the problem here, but he did not expect that Wei Hongxi would also come with him.
Some of the visitors went to the places where the ducks were active to investigate and follow up, and some put up signboards on the shore of the lake, promoting slogans and laws and regulations, telling everyone that Chinese mergansers overwintered here, and everyone was asked to watch the ducks in a civilized manner.
keep distance.
Wei Hongxi said a few words to the people over there, and then came directly here to find Feng Yi. He did not go into the house to sit, but just walked around the courtyard and asked about the situation at that time.
Because of his work, the director of the Federal Security Bureau has traveled to many places. He has seen poor places as well as rich places. Therefore, his expression does not change when he comes to the famous villa area here. For him, it doesn't matter what is happening here.
Whether the decoration is luxurious or simple, it is far less attractive than a duck feather.
Hearing Feng Yi say that the duck landed directly in his koi pond and even held a few koi in its mouth, Wei Hongxi had a complex expression.
"Your koi is a little too fat. It is probably attracted by koi. But this is the first time I have heard that they will fly into human yards and eat koi. Under normal circumstances, they are still
Very alert and stay away from people.”
“Are you familiar with this kind of duck?” Feng Yi asked.
"It can't be considered familiar. During my internship, I was taken by my seniors to inspect Changbai Mountain, which is one of the breeding grounds of the Chinese Merganser. At that time, I filmed the nest-hopping behavior of the Chinese Merganser ducks, and I was a little familiar with them.
learn."
“So these ducks flew here from Changbai Mountain?”
"Yes, a research team has provided more information. Most of this group of ducks migrating south from Changbai Mountain have landed at the place where they overwintered last year. However, this small group continues to fly south, attracting the attention of observers. Just now
It has been determined that they are the group that continues to migrate south. In the past, they did not fly so far south, and this is rare."
“I also saw on the identification page that they generally don’t spend the winter in Yangcheng, so are this group of ducks a special case?” Feng Yi was a little worried.
When he was in Rongcheng, the migrating cygnets had already brought him some unnecessary attention, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing again when he came to Yangcheng.
Seeing Feng Yi frowning, Wei Hongxi smiled and said: "Although there are not many, there are some. Don't worry, this is actually a good thing. The Chinese Merganser is a kind of water environment 'ecological test paper'. Their flying here shows that the water environment here is very good."
Well, otherwise I wouldn’t choose to land here. Looking at the current situation, they should have chosen to overwinter here this year. They can fly south and come here, and there are more than 20 of them when they appear, which is not easy to see. Cuihu has something suitable for them
Some arrangements will be made in the lakeside area where we live. It will not only allow everyone to see the ducks, but also allow them to spend the winter safely. Living in harmony is a win-win situation."
Thinking of something, Wei Hongxi added: "But while they are overwintering in Cuihu, the team here will conduct random inspections of vehicles and people entering and exiting the Cuihu area. Nothing else. If the Cuihu Observation Station receives abnormal
Reporting may be stricter. Supervision is also strengthened to prevent some illegal activities, such as those who use slingshots to shoot birds and traps for shooting. Those caught will be severely punished."
“Oh, by the way!” Wei Hongxi said to Feng Yi with a smile, “Congratulations, I heard that you have been confirmed to join the expert group for python hunting in Florida.”
“Well, the application was approved.”
“Perform well! This is a good thing that will bring you both fame and fortune!”
Chatting for a while, he got back to work again. Wei Hongxi's eyes scanned the clean courtyard.
“Did that duck drop some feathers when it was flying in your yard?” Wei Hongxi asked.
Feng Yi looked at Xiao Ding aside.
Xiao Ding replied: “Half of one.”
Speaking, he took it out of the garbage bag.
Wei Hongxi took out a small transparent bottle from the tool box and filled it.
“Some data can be analyzed based on feathers.”
Before leaving, Wei Hongxi told Feng Yi, "Although under normal circumstances they will not go close to places where humans live, a duck has already eaten koi in your house. I am not sure whether they will sneak over again. Cuihuli
There are a lot of fish here, but if that duck thinks the koi here is more delicious, it’s not sure. If the loss is serious, you can apply for compensation.”
“Compensation is not necessary, and it is not an expensive species.” Feng Yi said.
When he went to the flower and bird market to buy fish, he was photographed. A quick check revealed that the koi carps cost a few ten yuan. They were only bought to decorate the pond, and were not treated as pets. Naturally, there is no way to talk about how serious they are.
Feelings.
Wei Hongxi also suggested that Feng Yi could install some obstacles on the koi pond, as long as they are not trapping tools or things that directly harm the Chinese Merganser.
“If you have anything else, you can contact me directly.”
Wei Hongxi left the community and went to Cuihu to learn about the situation.
In the evening, Feng Yi went online and saw a video posted by a local official account on the social platform, which showed a group of Chinese Mergansers operating in Green Lake during the day.
Feng Yi found the duck among the group of ducks at a glance. The one with shiny green hair under the sun was charming and deep.
This is the duck holding koi in the yard today.
He is also the leader of this small team migrating south.
so……
“Xiao Jia Xiao Ding, add a shelter to the koi pond tomorrow!”
Feng Yi’s worries are not unnecessary.
The next day, the duck with an extraordinarily green head was wandering in the sky with a small team. However, he may have found that the koi pond was blocked, so he reluctantly flew back to the green lake.
In the next few days, they were often seen over Cuihu Park, and occasionally flew over residential areas, but after that, they rarely came close to places where humans live.
The ducks only move around the Cuihu Park area.
And the news that more than 20 Chinese Mergansers appeared in Cuihu Lake quickly aroused everyone's heated discussion.
As Wei Hongxi said, Chinese mergansers have very high requirements for the living environment. They can be regarded as a kind of water environment ecological test paper. Their appearance in the Cuihu area also shows that the ecological environment of the Cuihu area is very good. Businessmen do not
I will miss this opportunity for speculation.
Thus, Cuihu once again became the focus.
People in Yangcheng are focusing on the communities around Cuihu District, and real estate developers have launched a new round of publicity campaign using this topic.
There are also many people who purely watch birds. Every day, many tourists come to Cuihu to watch ducks.
Some people just come here just to join in the fun. If you don’t see any ducks, come here and take a few photos to see what a place that attracts “ducks from the first grade” to spend the winter is like.
And netizens from other places...
“I heard that these ducks just flew over there and ran to steal the koi from someone’s yard?”
“It is said that it is the famous Luhai Villa area next to Green Lake! For people who live in that kind of place, raising koi in the yard is very expensive, right?”
“Hahaha! I wonder if the owner of the house will cry!”
“What’s wrong with your price?! What’s wrong with the ducks in our country eating a few of your koi?! [dog head]”
