China's first bird observation manual has been launched. What do you think of this book?

The first bird observation manual in China is the China Bird Observation Manual edited by Liu Yang and Chen, which will be published by Hunan Science and Technology Publishing House in 2002 1 and1.

In order to show the bird diversity in China more comprehensively, China Bird Observation Manual not only includes the bird species in China before 2020 10, but also includes the birds that may appear in China but have not been accurately recorded, such as those that may appear in Hainan. In addition, birds that have not been recorded but may appear in neighboring countries of China in the future are also included. Memory was introduced to China as a caged bird, and then escaped to the wild to establish a population, such as some parrots.

In addition, the manual also invited artists to hand-draw bird patterns. Hand-painted rendering is chosen because the photographic pictures may be influenced by angles and light, and cannot show the standard shape and feather color of birds. Some birds appear less frequently and there are relatively few photographs, so hand-drawn pictures will not be restricted. Hand-painted birds can also show all individuals of different subspecies, sexes and ages of a bird.

A cold wind blew, and before you know it, winter came, and the bird watching season came again. In the post-epidemic era, the pace of life has mostly returned to the usual busyness, and all kinds of news on the Internet are endless and dazzling. Nature often becomes the destination of our hearts. Even in the cities made of steel, cement and concrete, the cycle of nature is still going on quietly, and many birds have adapted well to our urban life, such as sparrows.

As far as Beijing is concerned, Beijing Olympic Forest Park is an excellent bird-watching place in Beijing, and it is also one of Beijing's city business cards. You may think that we don't know much about birds, but unconsciously, birds have become a part of culture. Everyone can be a birdwatcher, and we can't live without birds.

China has a vast territory, diverse climate and complex terrain. Because of this, China is one of the countries with the richest bird diversity in the world. So far, there are 65,438+0,489 species of birds in China. The earliest scientific research on bird classification and fauna in China can be traced back to 187 1 year. Since 150 years, ornithologists at home and abroad have never stopped studying bird fauna in China.
