It's windy in winter

Birds: sparrow× 15 ~ 2, magpie× 1, spotted duck (flock), red-spotted duck (flock), mallard duck (flock), pheasant ×2(1 female and 1 male), mandarin duck×2 (male), vulture (owl).

I was impressed:

1. I was caught in a hat by the magpie king;

2. Meet 4 groups of wild ducks, about several hundred;

3. It's cold and slippery-the cold wind is bleak.

the winter in my hometown is full of the familiar bitter flavor. Walking in the street, the wind of MINUS 2 degrees comes in, and taking a deep breath will bring sharp tingling.

pineapple and I went to the northeast to visit our relatives, and of course we reserved some time to watch trees and birds. Pineapple has never seen rime, and I want to go to changbai island to see wild ducks. So the half-day trip was roughly booked ~

At 8: 3 in the morning, pineapple and I arrived at Linjiangmen Square, and the sun gradually rose. We shook in the bleak cold wind, but we didn't see the rime, so we had to go directly to changbai island.

From Linjiangmen Square to changbai island, it's ten kilometers along the river, and I haven't seen rime all the way. I remember when I was a child, I thought rime was really common, but now it is strange. Maybe it is not easy to see it recently. Maybe the climate has changed, and some conditions of temperature and humidity are not easy to achieve.

changbai island is between Qingyuan Bridge and Songjiang Bridge, near Songhua River. A few steps up and down the road, you can see an ice rink, where nearby residents are relaxing. Some people skate and some people smoke ice monkeys.

A little further outside the skating rink, corn kernels are scattered, a group of sparrows are twittering, and a round magpie is also busy. This one is not afraid of people, even if someone passes by, it doesn't pay much attention.

I went over and squatted down to look at it carefully. It found me coming and jumped on my shoulder, paused and jumped on my head. It's the first time a bird has been so close to me ~ I really can't restrain my inner excitement? ! I stood up slowly, and it swayed slightly to balance my body. After it stabilized, it actually began to peck my head.

It has a strong mouth. The act of pecking my hair out of my hat really made me laugh and cry. Pineapple said that it may be because my hat is warm, so I want to make a nest here ~ Crow animals are so smart ~ Of course, pineapple should be photographed as a souvenir in a rare moment. Magpies are so cute.

I walked to the river with the magpie on my back, thinking that since it won't come down, I'll take it to see the ducks ~ The grandfather and aunt who did morning exercises outside the skating rink stared at the magpie on my head and said with a smile from a distance, it's really fun. I still have a little pride in my heart ~ it seems that I have been recognized by magpies.

The river here is not frozen, and white air can be seen rising. Magpies may feel cold, or they may see their favorite hats and fly away with flapping wings. I looked back at it from a distance and saw it fall on the fur hat of an aunt in the distance. The people around you laughed around the aunt again. I felt funny, too. I said goodbye to it in my heart and turned to watch ducks with pineapple.

There are four groups of different kinds of ducks in the water. The largest group of ducks in the distance is about several hundred. They are densely floating on the river for sleeping. Occasionally, a few ducks swim and flap their wings ~

Nearby, 12 ducks of different kinds are seen together. Their feathers are fluffy and they look fluffy and slightly fat, which really makes people like it.

The wind at the water's edge is too cold, so most ducks shrink up and can't fly, so as to avoid the cold wind. I took gloves to take pictures, but when the wind blew, my hands tingled slightly. In this environment, the pineapple can't even hold the telescope stably. We are so cold that we can't observe them steadily.

It was so cold that we left the water after watching the ducks for a while. In the gallery, a few photographs caught my eye. In summer in changbai island, the images of ducklings playing with their mothers made people feel warm. I want to come again in the summer and pat the happy ducks in the warm season.

changbai island is not only the home of ducks, but also a local waterfowl protection station and a wildlife epidemic monitoring station. So besides ducks, there are some injured and rescued birds. We saw a vulture in a cage, as if to recuperate. Other birds are hiding in the spherical iron fence, and there is a vacancy above the iron fence. I think this probably means that the birds who want to recover leave by themselves.

After taking photos of them one by one, pineapple and I left here, but it was too cold. Although I didn't stay too long, I was happy enough to take a lot of beautiful pictures. Changbai island is really a good place.
