What is the reason for Blue Mountain County to make this warm-hearted move of shooting lights for three days?

Lanshan County closed the spotlights for three consecutive days to protect migratory birds along the way, reduce the disturbance to wild migratory birds at night and ensure the smooth migration of migratory birds.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, people living all over the country also feel that the weather is getting cold. Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, subtle changes in cold weather are also in the keen sense of wild animals. Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and it is the annual migratory bird migration season. Migratory birds refer to birds that migrate periodically with the seasons. In China, the common migratory birds are swallows, geese, storks, herons and swans. When autumn and winter come, they will fly to Hunan, Hubei, Jiangnan and even South China, where the temperature is relatively high in winter and there is plenty of food for them to spend the winter in lakes and swamps. Next spring, they will collectively migrate to North China, Northeast China and even Siberia in Russia.

Recently, many migratory birds have flown to Lanshan County and other counties and cities in Hunan. There are many hills in Hunan, and there are lakes and swamps such as Dongting Lake, which are very suitable for wintering migratory birds to settle down. However, due to human activities and urbanization, people have built high-power spotlights in forest areas, squares and other places for night lighting. Because of phototaxis, wild animals like to gather in the spotlight, but this is not conducive to the migration of migratory birds. Migratory birds flying during the day are affected by lights, unable to rest normally, and prone to irritability and violence. At the same time, because birds are attracted by lights, they can't stay in the relatively safe and rich wild environment, which is also very unfavorable for physical consumption migration activities. Birds gather in the spotlight area of the town and are easily caught by criminals.

To this end, Lanshan County decided to turn off the irradiation of high-power spotlights when migratory birds passed through the county, and at the same time sent urban management and relevant law enforcement personnel to inspect and closely monitor the migratory process of migratory birds to ensure that migratory birds can complete this year's migration safely and smoothly.
