The weather is getting colder. What bird overwinters in Shenyang?

It's mid-October, and the weather in Shenyang is getting colder and colder. Many migratory birds in Shenyang have migrated to the south, so which birds prefer to play in Shenyang after "freezing"? Here I have a brief statistics, welcome other netizens to add!

1. Sparrow

I don't need to say this. It is basically the largest number of birds here, and it is also the food of many small carnivores. Now there are a large group of chicks that have just left their nests in the park. People who lack life experience may not live half as long as next spring. Magpies and kestrels will prey on sparrows, but I want to say sparrows are pioneers of urban birds, and thank them for forming the foundation of the food chain.

2. Magpie

Every winter, a large number of magpies are seen in parks such as Dongling and Beiling. The song of this bird is not pleasant to the ear, but it is the most pleasant. Magpies are much bigger than sparrows. The belly is white fluff, and the feathers at the tip of the wing are blue.

3. Crows (basically crows with small mouths in Shenyang)

There are no large flocks of crows in Shenyang in summer, and they basically breed in the suburbs near the city. Crow's eating habits are similar to magpie's, and its size is nearly twice as big as magpie's. In winter, the dispute between crows and magpies never stops. They often gather in large and loose groups and shuttle back and forth between railway stations and garbage dumps.

4. kestrel

This is almost the most common raptor I can observe in the park. Its common name is "sparrow hawk". At the end of summer, you can often see little kestrels hovering, diving and flying in the sky. It is said on the Internet that kestrels mainly eat rodents, but kestrels in Shenyang prefer to prey on sparrows. In recent years, the number of kestrels is increasing slowly, and some kestrels can even adapt to nesting and breeding under bare eaves.

5. Red Duck

This kind of bird is what we often call a wild duck. The body length is 5 1~68 cm, slightly larger than that of domestic ducks, commonly known as wild ducks. The whole body is reddish brown, and there are obvious white wing spots and copper-green wing mirrors on the wings. It feeds on all kinds of grains, insects, frogs, shrimps and aquatic plants. Now it can adapt to Shenyang Hunhe and other waters in winter all the year round.

6.swans

Swan is a large swimming bird, with a body length of about 1.5m and a weight of over 10kg. The whole body has white feathers, the mouth is mostly black, and the upper mouth is yellow to the nostrils. It is a winter migratory bird. It likes to live in lakes and swamps and mainly feeds on aquatic plants. However, it will move south around the end of 10. Whether you can see it or not depends on luck.

7. rockhopper head? ?

This kind of bird is commonly known as Zhangba Dog or Shuilao. It is the largest grebes (50 cm) with elegant appearance. The neck is slender, with obvious dark crest, the lower body is nearly white, and the upper body is pure gray-brown. During the breeding period, the neck and back of adult birds are chestnut with mane-like feathers.

8. merganser

Merganser is a kind of diving bird with long crested feathers. Meat has a fishy smell, so it is commonly known as abandoned duck. It is characterized by narrow beak, beak teeth and sharp hook, which is suitable for fishing.

9. mallard duck

The bird is 47~62 cm long and weighs about 1 kg, and its shape and size are similar to those of domestic ducks. The male bird has a yellow-green beak, orange feet, bright green head and neck, and obvious white-collar workers on his neck. Like to be clean, it's a migratory bird. It has been able to adapt to Shenyang Hunhe River and other waters all year round in winter and is no longer active.

10. chestnut-eared short-legged snipe

Chestnut-eared short-legged snipe is a winter migratory bird in Shenyang, with a small number. Some photographers in Shenyang only meet them occasionally in Dongling Park.

The above is what I can think of, and I often hear from others. If there are other birds, please add them.

When counting birds in an area, they are usually divided into resident birds, Xiahou birds, transit birds, winter migratory birds and lost birds. Resident birds refer to birds that live and breed locally and have no migration activities; Summer migratory birds refer to birds that migrate to the local area in summer and leave in autumn; Transit birds refer to birds that temporarily stay in the local area during migration; Winter migratory birds refer to birds that migrate to the local area in autumn and winter and migrate in spring; Lost birds refer to birds that seriously deviate from the migration route during migration and stay in the local area for a short time.

Birds that spend the winter in Shenyang are divided into winter migratory birds and resident birds. Sparrows, magpies (including grey magpies), crows, pheasants, tits (big, small and silver throats), crows, turtledoves and other common birds are resident birds. Of course, there are many kinds of resident birds in Shenyang. Common winter migratory birds: Chima duck, mallard duck, merganser duck, spotted thrush, white-tailed sea eagle (rare) and so on. Wild geese and swans near Bird Island do not belong to winter migratory birds or resident birds, but are artificially propagated in Bird Island, and strictly speaking, they do not belong to wild birds. The best place to observe waterfowl in winter in Shenyang is the gas dam near Bird Island, and the best place to observe birds is Weilong Lake and Beiling Park in Dongling.
