How many kinds of birds are there in Dongying by 20021year1October?

On August 2nd, 20021year, Sun Jie, a bird friend from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, found two mixed groups of national first-class protected birds in Xinhui Beach (north of Hong Guang Fishing Port Wharf), which was the first record in Dongying City. So far, there are 25 species of national first-class protected birds and 66 species of second-class protected birds in Dongying City.

Among the nine migration routes in the world, the East Asia-Australasia migration area contains the most threatened snipe. The spoonbill snipe is one of the most endangered waterfowl in East Asia-Australasia migration area. It is an internationally endangered species and a national first-class protected animal.

The spoonbill snipe is a small wading bird with a body length of 14 cm ~ 16 cm. Its beak is black, its base is flat and flat, and its top expands into a shovel. When foraging, it sweeps back and forth in the water or mud like a broom. Based on this feature and its shovel-shaped Darkmouth, it is easy to distinguish it from other snipes in the wild.

The spoonbill snipe breeds in the Arctic coastal wetlands in northeastern Siberia, Russia, overwinters in Southeast Asia, and migrates through Korea, Japan, China, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fuzhou, Hainan Island, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province Province. According to the survey of birdlife international, there are less than 200 pairs of sandpipers in the world at present, which has become an extremely endangered species in the world due to the change of ecological environment in breeding areas and the destruction of transit habitats during migration. If it is not protected, snipes are likely to go extinct in the future.

According to the migratory route of snipes, ornithologists speculate that snipes are distributed in the Yellow River Delta. Therefore, Dongying Bird Watching Association has organized many special investigations on snipes. However, due to its small size and large beach area in the Yellow River Delta, snipes have not been recorded in the wild and their existence in the local area has not been confirmed. This time, Sun Jie, a bird friend from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, photographed a spoonbill snipe at Xinhui Beach, which provided evidence for a new record in the Yellow River Delta.

According to the verified data, 1 snipe was recorded in Binzhou, Shandong Province on May 7, 20 18 (Wei Lei, Sichuan animal, 20 18), which is the second record in Shandong Province in the Yellow River Delta.

Like the threats faced by snipes, habitat destruction and ecological environment quality are direct threats to the survival of many birds. In recent years, Dongying Municipal Government has implemented measures such as ecological restoration of offshore mudflats, withdrawal of mudflat aquaculture ponds to restore the original appearance of wetlands, and environmental protection and rectification actions, which have greatly improved the ecological environment, upgraded the structure and function of wetlands, and provided a good ecological environment for biodiversity protection. According to the latest statistics of Dongying Bird Watching Association, there are 388 species of birds recorded in Dongying, including 25 species of national first class and 66 species of second class.
