A in the winter, I will take my long zoom lens, to see the lake and HuCao haunting east dongting lake area, to see picture of all kinds of birds. I know: wetland does not belong to us human territory, that is given to the birds of heaven. And I'm not invited come of the traveler, with humble mood pious near east dongting lake, for fear that a half offend.
Come near wetlands, I designed to obtain poetry secret passage, and understanding of the relationship between man and nature society.
Last fall, I went to see a friend jiangfei about white swan, this surprised me not small.
Autumn, migratory birds not hasn't come back?
In this season, the water are not out of the low water level, no tidal flats exposed, and only a few of the common lake water birds, not crane, is the other birds, even wild duck son also less, don't say is white swan.
The white Swan is a kind of wild geese, to have been the white Swan English name: Whooper Swan, of migratory birds. See I doubt jiangfei, he told me, he in some years ago on a wintry day saved a common female white swan, now in foster care JinE mountain in the zoo.
We take some food to see the geese.
【 2 】
About geese, my childhood memory. At that time, my home is still in that part of the east dongting lake, the lake dongting xiangjiang river trail south of qu yuan farm. That's the great cultural revolution, just after the due to poor village, food and clothing are difficult to solve, by its hard winter, villagers ran to the piece of stone mountain lei under wetland leather geese life. They often take two methods: a shotgun with scattered the son shot; The other is the poison. Hundreds of thousands of casualties every time geese, with the bullock cart pulled back. Incredibly and no one tube, let alone to stop.
Would have heard that geese are paired, if a died, and the other one will be at the top, until another to follow only. And the only female jiangfei save white swan apparently alone, lived to now, once into the human life, seems to be enthusiastic. I am to doubt the goose will love previously heard that thoroughly, still believe in the concept of human love change in birds also can produce effect? My idea seems to absurd.
With this once jiangfei goose, as with lover, around a few months, he go where, geese and to which, is almost take not to leave, this let his life has put a little. His wife began to angry: you stay the wild goose than stay I! Sometimes all day and the wild goose plays in together, rather than to the wife. In this helpless, decided to put the geese in jiangfei foster the zoo.
Since the send to walk after geese, jiangfei often will take time to go to see.
Last year didn't go to see the redeemed, jiangfei thought geese could already do not know him, after all, goose is a beast, wild goose of animals. I come to the zoo and the river, we saw the barbed wire through the shrinkage in the corner, a little in his dotage. Don't like several other swan saw to the visitors come close, trying to win the tourists hand food. And this bird dull in where, seem to and several other swan unsocial, jiangfei also doubt thought is ill, so that the sound: the wild goose. The wild goose is alert to raise a head, toward the direction of the voice people look around. To call a sound the wild goose jiangfei wild goose, the wild goose has recognized the familiar, bright wings flapping mother to over come, long neck stretched out a barbed fence bite a jiangfei sleeve and wouldn't go. Those eyes flashing light, not words, understood. Out of the corner of my eye suddenly damp, be the world of animals by emotion. The touch of the jiangfei head, dusting the wild goose good said, I came to see you. The wild goose to release the close to the sleeves, stood there with wei2 nod, all the tourists surprised onlookers, amazing, someone also learn the name of the shout, aloof, have no reaction, even threw to him on food also ignore, everyone shook his head. Jiangfei this to remember to take out from the bag before in the supermarket to buy cookies and cakes, pieces of the fed the eat, several other also come to rob to only together. The wild goose with them to rob, just looking at jiangfei, seem to have said to say. Remember first into a zoo, the strength of the big, and also big, new thirties, nature becomes TouYan here, no one dare to flock to it. Three years later, the obvious the old and no longer TouYan of them, or even the weakest swan is here.
In July 2005, when one of the evening, and flat and XiangLin away JunShan, jiangfei invited them to the characteristics JunShan farms face the breeze to the wine. The shopkeeper said that have now kill white swan eat not to eat? Then they went to see with jiangfei in cages swan, afraid have 10 jins, feather their robes, and tall. The boss said: dongting lake wetland people often use trap swan, intact swan can sell price. The city of a major hotel most qiao, the most marketing. Recently the forestry department management of the wind tight, marketers, just to send to the remote village. Jiangfei eyes and swan eyes docking, have pity, determined to do a good thing, releases the swan. Give the boss offered to buy request was refused, after a RuanMoYingPao, and other means to finally with six hundred yuan high prices for the swan.
Back home, the only grey goose on jiangfei XiangLin home nurse, a family have a house is private buildings, and also is surrounded by a courtyard, the space is large, 2 it is he has this requirement, ferial do photography, to take the environment and east dongting wetland in small local have influence, natural and dealing with birds, familiar with some of the behavior of birds, be old hand. This bird about jiangfei, three days and two head went to XiangLin home run, and for the bird took a nice name: the wild goose.
The wild goose early into the house, the body is weak. XiangLin buy corn, rice, vegetables, and feed carefully fed. Heard that the bird bird dignity, shut in the shop before the boss has a hunger strike farm two more days, little sister store employees and the rice water meal feeding, afraid hungry thin. But it just a grain of also don't touch, like a point but dead. Perhaps this is also the boss finally answer jiangfei main reasons. The wild goose to XiangLin home, situation is different, have begun to feed, although also point QieSheng, appear timid, but everybody with the heart of docile, protect it, close to it, it is not a few days, beginning active to throw herself.
Some day, jiang fly to south lake and set them free.
The south lake connected dongting lake, the water surface, according to the city around. Daily, is often haunted by swan lake, normally is also released a good place, how much more will the south lake and scenic spot, the charming scenery, hangzhou west lake water than bigger, the natural scene have no less than the west lake, just not as good as human history the west lake also, also in the reputation is not big. That year LiBaiCeng in south lake next month white water rafting, leave "and to wish the moonlight dongting buy wine research." Verse, no doubt, to the south lake beauty is praising. But, no matter how we put the wild goose lost on the surface of the lake, it plop few and fly ashore. River fly turned and walked, it also with the back, cast won't go out. The thought that the wild goose not familiar with the south lake this piece of waters, opened once again the cage, the drill in the rapidly. The wild goose wild goose thought is coming home, that know some of them carrying cage dongting lake le terminal to slope, thought from here the should go wild goose's normal, dongting lake is familiar with it home ah. But for several times, still not put success. Is your short of breath, scold it dead geese goose, the bad wild goose wild goose, it would not go away, and always keep one meter away with the distance, people run, it will immediately flew up and still keep about one meter distances, jiangfei with the palm of the past tap the it the elongation head, which let you, follow repeatedly. To the wild goose jiangfei muttered a few words after, suddenly turned around several people said: or do not put, and go home. Jiangfei want to the somebody else all up to date have a pet, he'll get a swa
