"Haha, although the old kite can fly in the sky, they have no interest in hanging sheep. It is too small and can only catch some small birds and old hens. Besides, it doesn't live in the mountains.
." Zhao Laowen couldn't help but smile when he heard Zhang Peng's words.
Kite, local name is black kite, old kite. Medium-sized raptor, body length is about 610 mm. The base of the forehead is gray-white, the ear feathers are dark brown, the top of the head to the back of the neck is brown, with dark brown feather trunk lines.
The upper body is dark brown, with a slight purple luster and less obvious dark fine horizontal stripes and light-colored end edges. The tail is brown and slightly forked, with black and brown horizontal bands of equal width arranged in alternating directions. The tail end has a
The feather edges are light brown and white; the primary flight feathers are dark brown, and the bases of the inner feathers of the outer flight feathers are white, forming a large white spot under the wing, which is very eye-catching when flying.
The chin, cheeks and throat of the old kite are grayish white with fine dark brown feather stripes; the chest, abdomen and flanks are dark brown with thick dark brown feather stripes, and the feathers from the lower abdomen to the anus are slightly lighter and brown.
Yellow.
Old kites inhabit open plains, grasslands and low mountains and hilly areas, and are often found in suburbs, villages, fields and lakes. They mainly feed on small birds, rodents, snakes, frogs, fish, hares, lizards and insects.
It eats food, and occasionally poultry and carrion.
When it finds prey, it quickly swoops down, pounces on the prey, grabs it with its claws, and flies to a tree or rock to peck at it. The old kite is a summer migratory bird in the local area. It is active during the day and often flies alone at high altitudes. p>
It flies fast and powerfully, and can skillfully use the rising thermal airflow to rise to high altitudes and hover for a long time. Its wings are stretched flat and its tail is also spread out. It constantly swings and changes shape like a rudder to adjust the direction of travel.
It also shakes from time to time.
They usually fly in a circle and sing while flying. The sound is sharp, like a whistle, and can be heard from a long distance. The eyesight is also very sharp, and the activities of ground animals can be seen when hovering at high altitude. They are alert and human.
Hard to get close to.
"That's right. What else is there? A mountain eagle?" Zhang Peng asked Zhao Laowen again.
The mountain eagle is actually a vulture, a large raptor of the family Accipitridae. The vulture is also called a vulture, a mountain eagle, a dog-headed vulture, etc. It is a large raptor of the family Accipitridae that feeds on carrion.
The body of the mountain eagle is about 1.2 meters long, with a wingspan of nearly 3 meters. It mainly inhabits rocky grasslands, valleys, streams and forest edges in low hills, alpine wastelands and forests. It often moves alone, and occasionally in small groups, especially in small groups.
In places where food is plentiful, use large
Feeding on the carcasses of large animals, they often fly over open and relatively exposed mountains and plains to peek at animal carcasses. Occasionally, they fly at low altitudes along the mountains and actively attack small and medium-sized mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds, and sometimes attack
Livestock.
When these things are hungry in winter, the animals that are most likely to attack are the animals living in the mountains. Of course, the hanging sheep are what they hunt, and the natural enemies of the hanging sheep are these things flying in the sky.
"Yes, we must learn to observe and look up from time to time. If there is a dog-headed eagle hovering in the sky, it is likely that there is something below. This is also an opportunity for us to discover the hanging sheep." Zhao Laowen said to Zhang.
Peng also said slightly seriously.
Hearing Zhao Laowen's words, Zhang Peng nodded to express his understanding, and then the two of them continued to walk up, taking several breaks during the process. When it was almost dark in the afternoon, the two of them finally arrived panting.
Near Dashilizi Peak, you can already see your destination when you look up.
However, the two of them did not continue to move forward. After all, this thing was about looking at the mountains and running to death. Although it didn't feel very far, it was absolutely impossible to reach this distance before dark. In addition, it would take a long time to build a shelter.
It’s even more insufficient.
So Zhao Laowen also asked Zhang Peng to use local materials to build a simple shelter, and he will stay here tonight.
Zhang Peng also understood that he couldn't reach it, and he didn't have much time, so he put down his things first, then took out his short ax and started cutting branches, preparing to build a sloping house tonight to deal with it.
They dealt with it like this all night, and nothing happened at night. The two of them took turns sleeping pretty well. When they woke up the next day, their mental state was fine. They ate a little and packed up their things.
Use snow to put out the fire and continue moving towards your destination.
Just as they were walking towards Dalizi Peak, Zhao Laowen and Zhang Peng suddenly saw several mountain eagles circling and swooping on the Dalizi Peak that reached into the sky, as if they were chasing some prey. The two of them became very excited.
On top of the peak, there are almost cliffs on all sides, and it is almost isolated from the mountains and forests. Apart from flying flat-haired animals, what other wild animals can survive on that peak?
If not, what are these dog-headed eagles busy up there? So Zhao Laowen and Zhang Peng also looked at each other, there must be something there, and they immediately became more determined to climb this large mountain with almost no roads.
Peak, and then check it out. If you are lucky, it will be really developed.
The two of them also quickly accelerated their progress, thinking that there was still a chance to find traces of the hanging sheep today.
By the time the two of them arrived at the mountain peak, it was already noon. Sure enough, what the eyes saw was not necessarily true, and the eyes could also deceive you.
The two of them looked up, and suddenly saw a pair of goat-like animals jumping around on the cliff where even apes could not stand, chasing each other, and disappeared in an instant.
Hey! Is this a hanging sheep? It looks like a goat. But how can a goat run like flying on such a steep cliff? It seems that there is indeed something rare on the Dalizi Peak that reaches into the sky - a hanging sheep! p>
"Uncle, is that a hanging sheep?"
"It seems that the ones who can come and go freely on the cliffs are hanging sheep," Zhao Laowen said incredulously.
Is this Peng really a lucky star? How come you can see the hanging sheep just after you come here? I haven't seen this for many years, Zhao Laowen was also a little speechless thinking.
Okay, then the next step is how to shoot it down. The answer is that there is no way. The moment the hanging sheep was revealed, they didn't even have time to raise their guns and shoot.
The hanging sheep were probably nibbling on something on the big stone at the top of the peak. When they saw someone or something peeking at them, they fled without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The sound of the hanging sheep's hooves bouncing on the rocks seemed to still linger in their ears. The hanging sheep's ability to leap like flying on the rocky cliffs was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary animals.
Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that they heard the sound of hooves. After all, Zhao Laowen and Zhang Peng were quite far apart, but the sight of the figure still stayed in the minds of the two of them and would not dissipate for a long time.
"Uncle, let's go up?" Zhang Peng also said somewhat eagerly.
"What are you going to get up to? Let's wait a moment and walk around for a while." Zhao Laowen also said angrily to Zhang Peng.
"Ah? What are you doing down there?" Zhang Peng also said with some confusion.
