A pair of chestnut bee tigers stop on the branches below the cliff

I visited Shishi in April, spawned in the nest acupoint in May, incubated brooding in June, and the nests of young birds came out in July ... Since the end of July, the chestnut throat bee -tiger chicks on Shishi Canyon travel roads have successively came out of the nest. The frequency of nest feeding has decreased significantly, which also means that the stone lion chestnut throat bee and tiger breed this season into a new stage. It is expected that from the end of this month to the beginning of next month, "China's Most Beautiful Birds" chestnut throat bee tiger will gather south to migrate to end this year's "stone lion journey".

Seven days and five visits to the Canyon Road

The bee tiger traces are getting difficult to find

"China's Most Beautiful Bird" Anjia Shishi Canyon Travel Road! Since May of this year, this newspaper has continued to pay attention to the process of breeding and breeding in Shishi. Since late July, the reporter has many times to the Canyon Travel Road to observe and shoot. , Different days and different periods of time are basically the same--

At 16:00 on July 27, the reporter followed Wu Yan, the chairman of the Quanzhou Bird Watch Association, to the Canyon Travel Road to observe that there were fewer than the number of chestnut bee tigers. There are also many birds inhabited on the small mountains on the side of the cave on the side of the cave.

At 10 o'clock on July 28, the reporter visited the canyon tourist road to observe. The situation was very different from the previous day. It was equivalent to the scenes I saw a month ago. Many birds returned to the nest from all directions. Staying, or flying around in the air, there can be six or seven bee tigers "in the same frame" at a time.

At 11 o'clock on August 2, the reporter went to the Canyon again. In an hour of observation, the number of chestnuts found in the chestnut tiger was only single digits, and no birds were found to be fed by nests.

At about 7 am on August 3, the reporter took the drizzle and went to the canyon to visit the road again. It was found that six or seven chestnut throat bees inhabited on the small mountains on the side of the cave on the side of the cave. I returned, but I did not see the nest feeding.

At 18:00 on August 3, the reporter continued to observe and was similar to the situation in the morning of the day. Only the sporadic throat bee tigers were in habitat activities.

Come out of the psycho -free for food

Or decentralized stone lions

Compared with a month ago, the number of chestnuts in the Shishi Canyon Travel Road breeding place was significantly reduced. What was the reason? The chairman of the Volunteer Committee of the Provincial Wildlife Protection Association and Wu Yanchao, the Quanzhou Bird Watching Society, believes that the decrease in the number of trees and tigers of the chestnut bee and tiger belongs to the nest feeding, which means that the chicks have been foraged in the nest.

Wu Yanchao further explained that the pornographic nest is a gradual process. From the beginning of the origin of the birds to the cave to feed, to the entrance to the cave to feed, the number of feeding times will not be fed until it is not fed. This is a gradual process. There will be their own judgment. When the chicks grow up, they will slowly reduce the number of feeding, thereby prompting them to fly out of the hole for food. "

Based on the recent observation of the reporter's five times on the spot, Wu Yanchao believes that most of the chestnut -throated bee -tiger and chicks have come out of the nest and will no longer return to the nest after the nest. Cheng Birds learns to fly, foraging, etc., and prepare for migration south.

According to previous observations, there are more than 100 chestnut tigers in the Canyon Travel Road, and according to 5 calculations of each pair of chestnut bee tiger spawning, the new generation of chestnut throat bee tiger can theoretically reach 250. However, in June of this year, there were long rainy weather in Quanzhou. Dragonfly, butterflies, dragonflies and other foods needed by chestnuts and tigers were reduced. The duration of the chicks was affected or may even affect the survival rate of chicks. Therefore, the actual quantity of the Lion Canyon Travel Road Newborn Tiger may be discounted.

From the end of this month to the beginning of next month

The bee and tiger will gather south to south

The chestnut tiger is a summer migratory bird. It belongs to the national second -level key protection of wild animals. The flying posture is beautiful, colorful and colorful, and highly ornamental value. It is also known as "the most beautiful bird in China". This year, Shishi recorded for the first time to "set up a child" on the Canyon Travel Road, which is of great significance for the protection of the biodiversity of stone lions.

The "Shishi Journey" finally returns. It is reported that after all the chestnuts of chestnut bees came out of the nest, they learned flight and predation skills. By the end of August or early September, they would gradually migrate south with their parents to the south and go to Southeast Asia. It is worth mentioning that when the chestnut and tiger migrate south, they will gather in a area and then leave together. "Such a assembly process may appear for many days in a row, and after the opportunity is ripe, all fly away." President Wu Yanchao said.

So, will such a gathering choose the magnificent scene of the dirty cliff next to the Gorge Travel Road, the gorgeous scene of the Canyon Travel Road? Our reporter will continue to pay attention.
