- On a summer afternoon, although the sun is still a bit fierce, Liu Junhao's yard is filled with a harmonious atmosphere. Several newly hatched green peaches were walking clumsily around their parents in the courtyard, asking for food, and their high-pitched croaking sounds were heard.
Seeing the noise these little guys made, Liu Junhao knew without guessing that they must be the descendants of the first generation of Qingzhuang. Those ones were just hatched by water ducks. Without the words and deeds of Lao Qingzhuang, their ability to build a nest was slightly inferior. In addition, after living with humans for a long time, their vigilance is not that high, so when these Qingzhuang built their nests, they just randomly stuffed some reed leaves to deal with the problem. The newly hatched Qingzhuang also inherited the bloodline of their parents. Within a few days, they jumped out of their nests and ran all over the yard.
Zhao Weidong and others were sitting under the grape trellis, drinking iced watermelon juice and chatting, looking extremely comfortable. Liujiagou is really a good place where people can relax physically and mentally. When the breeze blows, all the rights and wrongs of the unit are forgotten, and all that is left is relaxation.
A few men were just talking nonsense, talking about national affairs, national customs, etc. By the end, several people tended to fall asleep. Resting like this after eating and drinking can only be described in two words - enjoyment.
Zhao Weihong and Zhang¡¯s mother were not idle. They got into the house and looked at the photos, while Zhang Qian explained beside them. The women became more and more excited as they talked, and laughter could be heard from time to time in the roomLiu Junhao couldn't help but sigh that women are more energetic.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, we found another strange thing." After a while, Xiao Haoyu rushed into the yard. Needless to say, my head was covered in sweat.
"What treasure did you find again?" Liu Junhao asked in confusion. Could it be that there are so many rare things that have not yet been discovered nearby? How come a few children can find them just by wandering around.
"We were looking for lotus pods to eat outside just now, and guess what we found on the lotus leaves?" the little guy said.
"Two frogs are fighting" Seeing his mysterious look, Liu Junhao's curiosity really aroused. Except for frogs who like to sit on lotus leaves, other things don't seem to have this habit. Of course, there is also an insect called the waterhopper. It is the larvae of a dragonfly and has no wings. It usually likes to lurk in the wet mud of ditches or among aquatic plants. Generally speaking, insects are afraid of fish, but this little thing is different. It has been carnivorous since birth and is extremely ferocious. It likes to prey on aquatic insects. The larger ones can even catch small fish and tadpoles.
Water hyacinths spend most of their time in the water and only climb onto lotus leaves when they are molting.
"No, we found a bird's nest on the lotus leaf. Even the furry kids said they had never seen it before" Xiao Haoyu looked particularly excited.
"It's normal to have bird's nests on the stems of lotus leaves. I thought it was a rare thing. What's the size of the bird's nest? If it's big, it's Qingzhuang. If it's too small, it's Lu Miaozi." Liu Junhao speculated. It is said that these two kinds of birds rarely build nests on lotus leaf stems, but they rarely do so.
"It's not on the stem of the lotus leaf, it's on the lotus leaf. And my kid just looked at it and said it's not Qingzhuang Nest." The little guy corrected.
"Whaton a lotus leaf?" This naughty kid is not going to be dazzled, right? Can a bird's nest be built on a lotus leaf? This is the first time Liu Junhao has heard of it.
"Well, hurry up and go out and take a look."
This is indeed a strange thing. People in the courtyard flocked to the toon tree one after another. Following the gestures of several little guys, Liu Junhao finally saw the strange bird's nest. The middle of the ditch is relatively deep, so the water coming out of the lotus leaves is not very high, and more of them are floating on the water. The bird's nest is built on a lotus leaf about one meter in diameter. Through the gap, you can clearly see the appearance of the bird's nest: the top is made of cattail grass, with many feathers mixed in the middle. Due to the obstruction of lotus leaves, Liu Junhao did not see the eggs in the nest. But what is certain is that it is indeed the first time for him to see the bird's nest in this position.
"Xiaohao, what kind of bird's nest is this?" Professor Zhao asked. He knew Liu Junhao's expertise in identifying bird's nests.
"This, I really don't know." Liu Junhao's eyes were sore when he saw it, and he was not sure what kind of bird's nest it was. He felt that it looked a bit like a watercrake nest, but when he thought about it, he realized it didn't look like it. The characteristics of the houses are very obvious, and they are usually built among the grass on the water. Another thing is that when the watercrake builds its nest, it will use its mouth to rotate all the surrounding grass together. It is very similar to a hammock, and the nest is in the hammock.
Liu Junhao¡¯s ability to identify water-cracking chicken nests was learned from Old Man Liu. The old man recognized water-cracking chicken nests as a unique skill, and he didn¡¯t know where he learned the skill. If he glanced casually among the water plants, he could always tell where there was a watercrake nest. We also know where the nest is located, whether there are any eggs inside, etc.
It can be said that Liu Junhao often eats chicken and eggs at this time. Then every time he gets greedy, he will cry and make trouble and ask Old Man Liu to find him eggs and eggs to eat. He still remembers the watercrackerTaste of eggs: The egg whites are smooth and elastic, without any fishy smell, very fragrant and attractive. The egg yolk is the essence of it. After coagulation, it is not as dry and difficult to swallow as ordinary bird eggs. On the contrary, it has a very noodles feeling. Eating it once can make people think about it for several days.
Like Liu Wuye, the old man pursues a sustainable development strategy. Watercrackers usually lay two eggs in a nest, but rarely three or four. He will leave one in the nest every time he picks them up, just to keep a seed. If you catch them all in one go, there will be no more eggs to pick up in the future.
Liu Junhao has been following the old man for a long time, and naturally he has learned every detail of his craft. It's a pity that when it was his turn, he had no chance to perform. There are fewer and fewer watercrackers every year. The water-growing chicken eggs also left him.
"You don't know either, what kind of bird is this?" Professor Zhao was surprised.
"We'll find out if we pull out this bird's nest." The furry kid had an eager expression on his face.
"How do you want to pay for it?" Liu Junhao now also has plans to get the bird's nest up to see what happens. The bird's nest on the lotus leaf seems to be safe, but it is very dangerous. As long as it is thrown with a bamboo pole, it will definitely fall into the water. Without going into the water, it would be difficult to remove the bird's nest. There are disadvantages to going into the water. The lotus leaves and stems are so dense that if you walk through it, your legs will definitely be covered in red marks.
"I have a way!" As soon as his voice fell to the ground, Tongtong raised it and said, "Put it over with a wooden basin."
This is a good idea. The little girl can draw inferences from one example. They did this when they were picking water chestnuts last year.
So, a few little guys carried the wooden basin out of the yard. They all scrambled to get into the tub. For safety reasons, Liu Junhao still let the furry boy take on this important task.
The furry child's wooden basin rowed smoothly, and it reached the edge of the lotus leaf in less than two minutes. He turned his head and glanced inside the bird's nest, then held the eggs in his hands and shouted: "Uncle Xiao Hao, this is a water rail chicken's nest."
"It's true." Liu Junhao nodded after seeing the color of the bird's egg.
"It's really strange how the watercrake built its nest on the lotus leaf." Professor Zhao kept shaking his head.
Liu Junhao also felt very puzzled, but when he thought about the few green bamboos in the courtyard, he felt that it was completely normal. I don¡¯t want people to come up with something non-mainstream! Having said that, this nest is quite hanging. If the water in the ditch flows a little faster, the bird's nest may be washed away.
"Give your Wukong the bird eggs to eat." After the furry boy came ashore, he handed over the bird eggs.
As soon as the monkey saw the egg, he immediately became excited and stretched out his paws to catch it.
"Do you have a brain? Monkeys often eat bird eggs. If you give them to them, aren't you helping the evil?" Liu Junhao snatched the eggs. In order to steal the eggs, Zhang Qian gave the monkey a political lesson. It's a pity that this guy refuses to change despite repeated admonitions and always steals once in a while. At least it didn't dare harm the birds in the yard, so Liu Junhao turned a blind eye.
"Send it back as soon as possible." After saying that, he stuffed the egg to the furry child.
"Isn't it?" This guy doesn't want to bother doing it a second time now.
"Wait a minute, it's not a water rice egg." Liu Junhao suddenly felt something strange about the bird egg in his hand. The color is indeed very similar to the water rail, but the size is nearly twice as big. He took a closer look and found that the color was much darker than that of a water-yang egg, and it also had some cyan spots on it.
"Why not again?"
Liu Junhao explained the differences between the two in detail, and the hairy boy nodded his head.
It¡¯s not a watercrake, what kind of bird is it? Everyone's curiosity was aroused again.
The mystery was soon revealed, and a water bird that looked like a wild duck flew over with fluttering wings. This bird is very shrewd. Seeing so many people watching on the shore, it just kept circling at low altitude. It circled for four or five minutes without falling into the lotus pond.
"Hey, this is a mandarin duck, or" Liu Junhao thought this bird was very strange. The bird's feathers are very bright, and its beak looks like a duck, but it has a comb on its head. Looking at the body again, it feels like a goose, and the claws look like the sharp claws of an eagle.
This is simply one of the most unusual birds, and he is definitely seeing it for the first time.
"We have discovered a rare bird, right?" Seeing him shaking his head, Zhao Weidong became excited.
¡°I¡¯ve seen this bird from the information, it seems to be called the colorful dolphin¡± Professor Zhao shouted uncertainly.
"Why does the colorful dolphin look like this? Isn't it a guinea pig?" Zhao Weidong thought that the old man remembered it wrong, so he followed behind to correct it.
"This is also called the colorful dolphin. It is a rare native duck. In recent years, some people have been raising it in the south.What's the matter with this colorful dolphin that it actually came to settle here? Besides, its nest is also very strange. "The old man was a little confused.
"Everyone should look back and let it fall." Recruiting the colorful dolphins is a blessing, which shows that Liujiagou's ecosystem is getting better and better.
After everyone retreated far away, the bird calmly fell from the sky, and finally sneaked into the lotus pond quietly.
