Please Don't Disturb Them! The Tai He River Welcomes Guests
During the migratory season of the migratory birds, the Hai Cheng River welcomed a group of special guests.
On the 8th, monitoring personnel of the Hai Cheng Forest Resource Protection and Management Center discovered a flock of green-headed ducks and red-necked ducks at the Hai Cheng River; on the 9th, monitoring personnel were pleasantly surprised to find 33 wild geese nesting at the Lishui Blue Bay segment of the Hai Cheng River.
According to Du Fangzhi, deputy director of the Hai Cheng Forest Resource Protection and Management Center, wild geese are rare and endangered migratory birds, classified as national level two protected animals. They mainly feed on aquatic plant leaves, stems, seeds, and roots. Besides plant-based food, they also eat a small amount of animal food. Wild geese are distributed in China's Yangtze River Basin and nearby lakes in winter, and in spring, they finally arrive at Heilongjiang and Siberia. Wild geese have extremely strict requirements for their living environment, and the fact that this group of migrating wild geese could stay at the Hai Cheng River indicates that the Hai Cheng River's basin environment is very good, and they like it here. After discovering the wild geese, the Hai Cheng Forest Resource Protection and Management Center immediately took protective measures, increased security patrols during the wild geese's stay, and prevented human interference.
It is reported that 10 years ago, small groups of wild geese once visited Hai Cheng River, but because of the improper disturbance of citizens, the wild geese did not appear in recent years. This year, the returning wild goose flock of 33 individuals is rare, with adults and young birds. Such a large group is a rare phenomenon. Relevant departments reminded the public that wild geese like to live leisurely between blue skies and clear waters and dislike being frequently disturbed. If you want beautiful wild geese to come and visit every year, please do not disturb them. All-media chief reporter Xu Tianyu
