Chong Zuo Baiye Monkey Reserve took the first photographed the crown and the bird of the bird.

Recently, the staff of the National Nature Reserve of the Chongzuo Bald Leaf Monkey in Guangxi first monitored the national first -level key protected animals -crowns and birds in the patrol area. In March 2015, since the trace of the white -headed monkey reserves, it lasted for 7 years, and finally took pictures of the crown spot. According to incomplete statistics, the reserve has currently monitored 24 groups of crown spots.

"Lurking" in the rainstorm

On the morning of May 24th, under the heavy rain, the staff of the protected area Liang Yanpeng and the three of them looked at the outside of the protection station. They had waited for more than two hours. They received reports that they had found that Guangshan suspected to find the nests of crowning rhinos. Hearing this news, the three were very excited.

"Don't wait, go up the mountain!" Liang Yanpeng waved his hand, and the three wrapped the camera tightly with a raincoat, and took the monitoring equipment towards the mountain. The heavy rain was tall, the mountains were tall, and the mountains were muddy all the way. After two hours of climbing, they finally reached the jungle of more than 20 meters at the bottom right of the rhinon bird. Although the clothes were soaked, they did not dare to show or make a sound, because the crown spots were very alert.

The three of them motionless, holding the breath, staring quietly at the nest of the crown and birds on the rock wall.

It is difficult to lurk in mountains and forests, and mosquitoes are constantly harassed, and everyone has scattered red and swollen. Seeing that more than four hours passed, at this time, a whistling sound came from far to near. "The crown spots are coming!" The three of them held excitement, motioned with each other with their eyes, quietly opened the raincoat, carefully took out the camera, stretched out the telephoto lens, and aimed at the bird's nest.

"Love Bird" is extremely vigilant

I saw a male crowning rhinobaria stay in front of the stone cave on the cliff wall of the Karst Stone Mountain. While feeding bugs with his mouth to the cave, he looked east and west. "Click Kaka Ka", the three pressed the shutter at the rhinobolia, and the precious shot of the crowning rhino bird fed the breede. The male bird who had just finished feeding seemed to be wrong, worried about the exposure of the nest, and flew away.

The method of crowns and birds and birds is a bit special. In order to protect the "family", the male bird will choose the tall tree hole or the cliff wall stone hole to build the nest, and then the soil is sealed. Essence Since then, female birds have been staying in the nest to incubate and take care of young birds, and the male birds recover food every day to feed female birds and young birds. Until the young bird grows up, the female bird will break the nest with the young bird. The "monogamous" pairing of the rhino bird, unable to live, is known as the beauty of "love birds".

There are 24 crowns in the protected area

The reporter learned that Chongzuo's white -headed monkey national nature reserves are in the mountains and mountains, and it is difficult to find the trace of the crown and birds, and it is even more difficult to find their nest acupoints. In March 2015, since the trace of the crown and birds in the white -headed monkey reserves, the staff of the protected area continued to strengthen the protection and monitoring of the crown and birds. Since then, there have been many signs of the wild activities of the crown and birds. It lasted for 7 years, and this time I finally took the picture of the crown spot.

"It can monitor the picture of the crown and birds and birds, indicating that the crowning rhinocet bird population in the protected area can be breed and develop normally." Nong Deng Pan, deputy director of the Baiye Monkey National Nature Reserve Management Center, said that in recent years, the protected area has actively launched The restoration of habitats and the protection of wild animals and plants can often find some activities of the crowns and birds during the patrol and monitoring. The ecological environment in the protected area is getting better and better, which can provide inhabiting more birds.

It is reported that the crowning rhino birds are mainly distributed in Chongzuo, Guangxi, southwestern Yunnan, and west Shuangbanna in the south of Yunnan. In the "National Key Protection Wildlife List" updated in 2021, the protection level has been raised from the national level to the first level. According to incomplete statistics, the reserve has currently monitored 24 groups of crown spots.
