Kaiyuan Phoenix Lake Presents 'Hundred Birds Gathering at Phoenix Lake' Beauty – A Poetic and Picturesque Scene
Spring Festival is approaching, and Phoenix Lake in Kuiyang City is presenting a 'Hundred Birds Gathering at Phoenix Lake' spectacle, adding joy to citizens and tourists.
“It’s beautiful, so beautiful, let’s take a few pictures to post on WeChat!” Ms. Wang, a citizen, has already taken several photos with her phone. She told reporters that last year, there was a similar scene on Phoenix Lake, with hundreds of black-winged long-legged sandpipers temporarily resting, and the photos taken by everyone amazed the whole WeChat circle.
The reporter saw that flocks of migratory birds were circling and dancing in the air, sometimes flapping their wings and pecking at their feathers, and sometimes quietly resting on the water surface, enjoying the winter sunshine, adding a touch of liveliness to Phoenix Lake. Many wild ducks, sparrows, and magpies also came to join in the fun, turning the beautiful Phoenix Lake into a bird paradise, a truly poetic and picturesque scene.
Numerous tourists came to admire and take photos. Many photographers carried long cameras and short cameras, enduring the cold wind from dawn to dusk, freezing their beautiful figures with their hands.
“The 3,500-mu Kuiyang Phoenix Ecological Park was completed in 2017, greatly improving the ecological environment of Kuiyang City. The good ecological environment has continuously attracted a large number of birds.” According to Kuiyang City officials, in recent years, more and more migratory birds have flown to Kuiyang for the winter, approximately four to five thousand each year, with more than 10 species, including black-faced herons, white herons, green-crested ducks, red-eared ducks, and gray herons.
“Among these migratory birds, there is a species called 'Pied Stork', which is a large water bird that was first discovered in China several years ago. Its original distribution area is in Southeast Asia and South Asia. It was first discovered in Dali, Yunnan Province in 2007, and then appeared in many places in Yunnan. It was first discovered in the Kuiyang Triangular Sea area in Yunnan in 2012. In recent years, the number has been increasing. The fact that so many Pied Storks can be seen in Kuiyang City is very rare, indicating that Kuiyang's ecology is getting better.” Mr. Li Yang, a biology teacher at Kuiyang Middle School and a member of the Yunnan Wild Bird Association, introduced.
