The Chinese merganser, a Chinese duck, is known as the giant panda among birds. It is as famous as the South China tiger, Yunnan golden monkey and giant panda. It is a national first-class protected bird.

In addition, it also has a name called living fossils in birds, which are a living fossil species that survived after the Tertiary glacier period. It has been more than 10 million years ago.

In 1864, the British collected a male duck specimen in my country and named it "Chinese Merganser". This type of bird generally breeds mainly in northeast China and Siberia and generally goes south of the Yangtze River to overwinter in winter.

However, since the reform and opening up, the southern economy has developed rapidly and polluted severely. Pollution discharge, excessive water intake, and sand digging have affected the habitat of mergansers, making the problem of choosing overwintering habitats that are already untraceable has become even more unpredictable.

These news were told by Zhu Jingdian and Ma Yi. They also told Lao Ao that the merganser would even stay in the north for wintering. They were originally migratory birds, but they were forced into lingering birds by humans.

"Isn't this a good thing? They limit their habitat range, so can you set up a protected area?" Ao Muyang asked.

Ma Yi took a breath of smoke and sighed, "What's the good thing? Alas, it's so cold in the north in winter. If the merganser stays, it will be frozen to death! Originally, the number of ducks would be small. If they freeze to death, the loss would be serious!"

Their Chinese bird watching organization conducts joint operations every year to find the figure of Chinese merganser, with footprints spanning most of China, involving ten major water systems such as the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Pearl River.

Because Chinese merganser makes a living by diving and fishing, it has very strict requirements on the habitat environment and must have clear rivers and reservoirs with sufficient food. There are not many freshwater environments that meet such conditions.

What is even more scarce is that Chinese merganser likes to build nests on trees, and the tree holes are generally more than 10 meters away from the ground, which requires that there must be big trees beside the rivers and lakes where they breathe, and it is best to be forests.

When listening to the news, Ao Muyang looked up at Ambergris.

The lake in winter is particularly cold and clear, and the lake water is like thick glass, without dust.

This season, the activity of plankton in the lake is poor, and the activity of fish, shrimp and crabs is even worse, which leads to the extraordinary clarity of the lake water.

There are a circle of big trees growing on the shore of the lake, and these trees are also specially protected because in summer the branches are natural shade sheds, and every shade can entertain tourists.

There are not many mergansers coming to Ambergris. According to statistics, there are twenty-five, which is considered a small group, and they like to live in groups.

Ao Muyang admired Zhu Jingdian and his group very much. These people spent a lot of effort to protect birds and suffered a lot. Their skin was tanned and rough, almost like the old fisherman who was eating at sea.

First, out of admiration, second, to learn more about the merganser, and third, to soothe the emotions of the group. After all, they were scared to death today, so Ao Muyang invited a team organized by the birdwatching to have a meal in the evening.

The steamed buns and crabs I caught before have been fed, so Lao Ao steamed a pot of them, and there were also large eagle claw shrimps. This can be eaten simply by blanching them in boiling water, and it is full of fresh flavor.

Chicken, duck, fish and meat were served one after another. Ao Mudong went to bring the wine and a feast was set up.

Ao Muyang looked at the food and said, "Well, you guys wait. I'll go to Brother Kang to get a smoked rabbit or something. Today he just got a pot of smoked goods."

He went to Ao Mukang's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the father and the other two started working again.

Ao Mukang chased Ao Xiaojun with a broom in his hand. Ao Xiaojun jumped up and down. His dodging skills were like boxing champion Mayweather, and he couldn't beat him.

Ao Muyang asked with a smile: "What's wrong with this? Brother Kang? Did Xiaojun fail the final exam?"

Ao Mukang's face turned pale and wanted to speak. Ao Xiaojun cried with a sad face: "Uncle Xiaoyang help me, I won't blame me this time, I really don't blame me!"

"Don't you blame?" Ao Mukang said angrily, "Damn Caota, my brother-in-law gave me a bottle of raw rice dried rice, and I was reluctant to drink it. As a result, this kid Mad added salt to me!"

Ao Xiaojun said loudly: "Dad, you didn't tell the whole story. You said that this bottle of wine is too light. I kindly helped you add salt to the wine!"

"You are quite sensible." Ao Mukang picked up the broom and continued to chase after him.

Ao Xiaojun hid in a mess, and he shouted unbearably: "Dad, I warn you, if you hit me like this, I can do anything!"

"Can you solve math problems? Can you solve English questions? Can you solve physics, chemistry and biology problems?" Ao Mukang tried even more vigorously.

Upon hearing this, Ao Xiaojun encouraged to float on the water and flee over the wall.

Ao Muyang went into the house to get the smoked rabbit, smoked chicken gizzard and smoked pig trotters. At this time, he saw that the genealogy was already hung on the wall on the north side of the living room of Ao Mukang's house. Chicken, duck and fruit were offered under the genealogy, and the Wenquxing Electronic Dictionary...

"I hanged the family tree so early." Ao Muyang said.

Ao Mukang sighed: "There is no way. Let the ancestors come out and watch Xiaojun do their homework together. I can't bear to see me anymore. I also hope that they will give me a dream and give me some advice on how to educate my children."

"I feel sorry for parents in the world!"

Ao Muyang sighed and went out, then smiled and said with a slight smile.

This big meal made Zhu Jingdian and his party entertained. Their unit belongs to the business unit and is considered a strong rice bowl. However, there is no meat in the rice bowl, and the salary paid is enough to support the family. There are subsidies when going out, but everyone is reluctant to spend it and try their best to deal with it.

So, someone had previously opened the carriage of the second pickup truck and found some instant noodles, ham sausages, compressed biscuits, and everyone was sleeping in the open.

Ao Muyang was entertaining big fish and big meat. The fish were delicious hairtail, golden pomfret, the meat was free-range goat meat and stupid chicken that grew fat with insects, plus steamed buns, crabs and eagle claw shrimps, this was a big meal!

In addition, Ao Muyang also opened a room for them in the name of the village committee. They originally brought thick tents and wrapped themselves in coats at night and then slept like that.

This condition is naturally incomparable to the fishing house. The village's entertainment really surprised everyone.

They thought Ao Muyang had any plans, but they didn't mention anything, just letting them eat and live in the village.

Zhu Jingdian and Ma Yi led the team to think about it and immediately decided to try their best to keep the merganser that flew in Ambergris Lake. If the duck stayed here, they could stay here.

Otherwise, the merganser flew to another lake in the wild, and they would have to continue sleeping in the wind and snow for many years. I had a breakfast with the tiger.

During the twelfth lunar month, there were free rooms in the village, so Ao Muyang kept them for the time being.

Of course, he can't entertain a group of people every day for dinner and drinks, and he has to lead a team to sea.
