Every Day One Step Closer To the Manifestation

Latest website: Feng Yi stared blankly at the bird flying into the yard. Although I didn't know him, the alert radar was already beeping.

He was beaten in the face when he was quite quiet just after speaking.

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 the matter? There seems to be a strange sound? A bird flew to your house again?"

"Yeah." Feng Yi still stared at that side.

"Is that what you just said, the more famous kingfisher over there?"

"No. I'll deal with some other things first, and talk later when I have time."

"Okay." Qian Feiyang didn't frustrate.

After the phone call, Feng Yi looked over.

Xiaoding, who was a guest gardener in the yard, had already passed to the Koi Pond when he heard the movement.

Seeing Xiaoding passing by, Feng Yi didn't rush downstairs to see the situation, but turned on the camera function of the phone and took a few photos in a row.

The photos taken are fairly clear, and the camera is awesome.

The bird that fell into the koi pond noticed Xiaoding's approach, flapped its wings and fluttered across the yard. After a while, it flew again and flew towards the nearby Cuihu Lake.

Feng Yi stood on the terrace, watching the bird fly down to the surface of Cuihu Lake.

On the shore of the lake, tourists were enjoying the scenery of the lake. They saw the flying birds exclaimed and said something to their companions. Others took their mobile phones onto the lake plank road and approached in the direction of the birds.

Then, Feng Yi saw that the bird swooped out on the lake as if it was equipped with a turbine.

I'm sure, this bird is a speed type.

The bird flew away, but Feng Yi didn't let go, always feeling that he was in trouble again.

Withdrawing his gaze, Feng Yi opened the mobile app for identifying species developed by the UNPROFOR, and selected a few photos just taken for identification.

The bird that flew down to the koi pond is about half a meter long, with a black back, mostly white and gray body, and some scaly patterns on the body, dark green neck and head, and a fluffy feather crown on the back of the head, as if The shocked killer haircut is extremely flamboyant.

Probably because the sun is too good today, and the shooting angle and timing were chosen too cleverly. The dark green feathers of the bird’s head and neck reflect a dazzling metallic luster in the sun, especially the one that is tilted behind the head. A few roots are extremely green.

Feng Yi had never seen such a bird before.

Watching the "photo recognition" icon rotates, the recognition program automatically zooms in on the part of the photo and performs secondary recognition on the patterned part of the target body.

Then a few lines of highlighted text popped up:

【Chinese Merganser】

[National first-level protected wild animals! 】

[It is found that there are few wintering records of Chinese Merganser in your area at the moment. If you find it, please contact the relevant local agency immediately. telephone……】

Below is a long list of different institutional departments, as well as multiple landline numbers in the same department.

"Chinese Merganser? Ducks?"

Feng Yi's eyes stopped for a moment on the words "national first-level key protected wild animals".

In the courtyard, Xiaoding asked, "Boss, what kind of bird was that flying over in the courtyard just now?"

Feng Yi: "Sit through the duck in prison!"

The shears that Xiao Ding was holding almost flew away.

"Country... Country One?"

"Country One." Feng Yi nodded.

Xiao Ding was fortunate, but fortunately, he didn't start to catch it just now. He accidentally used too much force. The bird... what happened to the duck, I don't know how much trouble it will cause!

"Next time I see it, call Xiao Bing directly, he is more experienced!" Xiao Ding said.

Feng Yi responded, opened the photo in the phone just now, and clicked on the more detailed information of the link to the recognition page:

[Not every merganser is called Chinese Merganser]

Compare some of the features in the photo.

I'm sure, it is indeed a Chinese goosander.

The mouth is sharper and has a hook for catching fish.

The duck in the photo just now has very clear scaly lines. This scaly pattern is also considered the most striking feature of this breed.

According to the data, this kind of duck calls infrequently and is not too noisy.

In fact, there is only this one, even if the tweet has limited influence, it is not always squatting at his house.

but!

Is there really only one?

The Chinese Merganser will fly from the north to the south over the winter in winter.

Feng Yi looked into the air.

Sure enough, the large army was long overdue.

The leading duck has eaten a few, and the latter has just arrived here.

Feng Yi estimated that 20 or 30 Chinese Merganser flew from above and landed on the surface of Cuihu Lake.

Some of these ducks look the same as the one just now, but their heads are darker and not so green. Some have different colors, with their heads brown and yellow.

Feng Yi turned to the recognition page just now.

The koi-eating duck that I identified just now is a male, so in their wintering team, maybe the other color is female?

But these are not important at the moment.

Feng Yi directly sent a message to Wei Hongxi, sending him the photo he had just taken and the screenshot of the recognition page.

Although the identification page provides the phone numbers of many departments, Feng Yi knows people from the UN Insurance Bureau and sends them directly, and they will naturally solve the problem efficiently.

Sure enough, less than 10 seconds after sending it, Wei Hongxi called.

"Are you sure these photos taken at home just now? Only one?" Wei Hongxi said excitedly.

"Just now there was only one, but now there is a group, about 20 or 30, and they have flown to Cuihu. Many tourists have seen it there. I will make a video for you."

There were people playing on the shore of the lake, and the flying ducks ran away from the crowd, but the camera was so powerful that Feng Yi could still photograph them. The captured image is a bit blurry, but it is enough to see what you want to see.

Feng Yi originally thought that Wei Hongxi would contact relevant departments and only send people to solve the problems here, but he didn't expect Wei Hongxi to follow along.

Some of the people who came here went to the place where the duck flock was active to investigate and follow up, and some of them erected signs on the shore of the lake, propaganda slogans, laws and regulations, etc., telling everyone that there are Chinese Merganser ducks here for winter, please be civilized to watch the ducks, keep distance.

Wei Hongxi said a few words to the people over there, and went straight here to look for Fengyi. He didn't enter the house, but walked around in the courtyard and asked about the situation at the time.

Due to work, the UNPROFOR has gone to many places, seen barren places, and has been to rich places. Therefore, the look of the famous villa area here has not changed. For him, don’t worry about it. The furnishings are luxurious or simple, far less attractive than a duck feather.

Hearing Fengyi said that the duck landed directly in his koi pond and picked up a few koi fishes, Wei Hongxi's complexion looked complicated.

"Your koi is a bit too fat. It is probably attracted by koi. But it is the first time I heard that they will fly to human yards to eat koi. Normally, they are still Very alert, far away from people."

"Are you familiar with this kind of duck?" Feng Yi asked.

"It's not too familiar. I was only taken by my seniors during my internship to inspect the Changbai Mountain. There is one of the breeding grounds of Chinese Merganser. At that time, I followed the young ducks who photographed the Chinese Merganser to jump from the nest. learn."

"So these ducks flew over from Changbai Mountain?"

"Yes, a research team has provided more information. Most of the duck flocks that moved south from Changbai Mountain have already landed in the place where they overwintered last year. However, this small group continued to fly south and attracted the attention of observers. It has been determined that they are the group that continues to move south. In the past, they did not fly so far south, which is rare."

"I also saw the identification page saying that they generally do not overwinter in Yangcheng, so is this group of ducks a special case?" Feng Yi was a little worried.

When he was in Rongcheng, the migrating little swan had already brought him some extra attention, but he did not expect to encounter such a thing again when he came to Yangcheng.

Seeing Fengyi frowning, Wei Hongxi smiled and said: "Although there are not many, but there are. Don't worry, this is actually a good thing. Chinese Merganser is a kind of water environment'ecological test paper'. They fly here to show that the water environment here is very good. Well, otherwise, they would not choose to land here. Looking at the current situation, they should choose to spend the winter here this year, and they can fly south here, and there are more than 20 animals once they appear, which is not easy to see. Cuihu has suitable for them. Where you live, some layouts will be made in the lakeshore area. Not only can you watch the ducks, but also let them spend the winter safely, and getting along in harmony is a win-win situation."

Thinking of something, Wei Hongxi added: "However, when they are overwintering in Cuihu, the responsible team here will conduct random inspections of vehicles and personnel entering and leaving the Cuihu area. Nothing else, if the Cuihu Observatory receives an abnormality The report may be stricter. The strengthening of supervision is also to prevent some illegal activities, such as those who use a slingshot to shoot birds, bait them, and catch a heavy penalty."

"Oh, that's right!" Wei Hongxi said to Feng Yi with a smile, "Congratulations, I heard that you have already decided to enter the Florida python hunting expert group."

"Well, the application is approved."

"Behave well! This is a good thing for both fame and fortune!"

Have a few small chats and enter the working state again. Wei Hongxi glanced across the clean courtyard.

"Did that duck drop some feathers when it flew in your yard?" Wei Hongxi asked.

Feng Yi looked at Xiaoding on the side.

Xiaoding replied: "Half roots."

Speaking out of the garbage bag.

Wei Hongxi took out a transparent vial from the toolbox and installed it.

"Some data can be analyzed based on feathers."

Before leaving, Wei Hongxi said to Fengyi, “Although they don’t usually come close to where humans live, a duck has already eaten koi at your house. I’m not sure if they will sneak over again. In Cuihu There are a lot of fish, but if the duck thinks the koi here is more delicious, then you can’t say for sure. If the loss is serious, you can apply for compensation."

"It's not necessary to compensate, and it's not an expensive variety," Feng Yi said.

He had also been photographed when he went to the flower and bird market to buy fish. One can find out about this. It costs a few ten yuan for a koi. I bought it just to decorate the pool, and I didn't treat it as a pet. Naturally, I can't talk about the deep feelings.

Wei Hongxi also suggested that Fengyi can install some barriers on the koi pond, as long as it is not a trap or something that directly harms the Chinese Merganser.

"If there is anything else, you can contact me directly."

Wei Hongxi left the community and went to Cuihu to find out the situation.

In the evening, Feng Yi went online and saw a video posted by the local official account on the social platform. It was a group of Chinese goosanders that were active in Cuihu during the day.

Feng Yi found the ducks in the group of ducks, the one with shiny green hair in the sun, coquettish and deep.

This is the duck holding the koi in the yard today.

It is also the leader duck of this small team moving south.

so……

"Xiaojia Xiaoding, add a shelter in the Koi Pond tomorrow!"

Feng Yi's worries are not redundant.

The next day, the exceptionally green duck hovered in the sky with a small team, but it was possible to find that the koi pond was blocked, so he flew back to Cuihu unwillingly.

In the next few days, they would often be seen in the sky above Cuihu Park, and occasionally they would fly over the community, but after that, they would rarely be close to where humans live.

Duck flocks are only active in the Cuihu Park area.

The news that more than 20 Chinese goosanders appeared in Cuihu quickly aroused everyone's heated discussion.

As Wei Hongxi said, Chinese Merganser has 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. Will let go of this speculation opportunity.

So ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Cuihu once again became the focus.

People in Yangcheng focused on the surrounding communities in Cuihu District, and real estate developers took advantage of this topic to launch a new round of publicity offensive.

There are also many people purely bird watching, and many tourists come to Cuihu to see ducks every day.

Others are simply joining the fun to check in. If you don't see the ducks, come here and take a few photos to see what the place attracts the "Guo Yi Ducks" to overwinter.

And the netizens from other places...

"I heard that this group of ducks ran to steal koi from someone's yard as soon as they flew there?"

"It is said that it is the famous mansion Luhai Villa area next to Cuihu Lake! It is very expensive for people living in that kind of place to raise koi in the yard?"

"Hahaha! I don't know if the owner will cry!"

"What's wrong with Gui?! What happened to a duck in our country eating your few koi?! [狗头]"
