In early June, the staff of the Mochi Management Station in the National Nature Reserve of Hubei Hubei, when they sorted out the wild -infrared camera, found a precious image of the red -bellied horny field activities.

In the picture, the two red -bellied horn pheasant birds paced leisurely and foraging in the forest. Its feathers are dark red, and the black crown grows on the top of the head. There is a pair of cobalt -blue meat angles on both sides of the feather crown. Round spots, naked blue on the face. It's like the red brocade is full of pearls of large and small. While looking for food, he looked around, and looked at the surrounding environment with vigilance.

The red-bellied horn pheasant likes to live in the virgin forest under the gaps, mountain streams and wet cliffs, and are distributed between 1000-3500 meters above sea level. The tender leaves, young buds, tender branches, and seeds of trees, shrubs, bamboo, and herbaceous plants and fern plants are eaten. This species belongs to the national secondary protection animal and is included in the world's endangered bird list.

In recent years, the Hubei Zhiheyuan Reserve has adopted a series of protective measures such as ecological restoration, natural forest stopping management, small hydropower shutdown, and ecological immigration. The increasingly good ecological environment has attracted more rare wild animals to block Heyuan's "settlement".
