Golden Fishery
v2 Chapter 365: .Migrating Bird Flock (9/10)
Drive the sports car back to the fishing ground, the only thing Qin Shiou found meaningful was his encouragement to Powell.
Powell has always wanted to be a racing driver, but the gap between the ATV and the racing car is a bit big, so when he saw the sleek Porsche 918, his eyes brightened.
Qin Shiou asked him to get into the car and sit down to find the feeling. Under his guidance, Powell started the car and roared in place for a while, shaking with excitement, and kept asking, "This is a racing car. Is this the feeling of driving a car." '.
"All you have to do now is to study and exercise. Learning will develop your brain. Exercise will make you have a strong physique. After you get your driver's license, I will allow you to drive a sports car on the road!"
Qin Shiou drew a pie for Powell. From that night on, Powell became different from Gordon and others. He was fighting alone in the bedroom with a book in his arms, and when he encountered a problem that he could not, he asked Winnie, suddenly becoming hardworking.
Therefore, people are afraid of not pursuing. As long as they have the motivation to pursue, they will definitely be able to make achievements and achieve some results.
When sleeping at night, Qin Shiou felt that the outside of the villa was not very peaceful, from time to time there was the quack of big white geese, or the sound of some birds flapping their wings.
But he didn't care, because it couldn't be a sneak attack by the golden eagle. First, the golden eagle has no habit of hunting at night, and second, the tiger and leopard at the door didn't call. Obviously, the problem was not big.
Get up early in the morning and go for a run with Wei Ni. As soon as Qin Shiou went out, his eyes widened.
I saw brown-gray seabirds overwhelmingly in the fishing grounds south of the villa!
Overwhelming, Qin Shiou did not exaggerate. These seabirds are really overwhelming in the fishing grounds!
How many seabirds are there? Qin Shiou didn't know, he only knew that when a part of these seabirds flew, they could cover the sky and the sun. These seabirds are floating on the surface of the sea. The water surface of the entire fishery near the sea is covered up!
Moreover, what he saw was not all the bird flocks. There were also a steady stream of seabirds flying from the north, successively landing on the fishing grounds.
"What kind of bird is this?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise.
He has never seen such seabirds. Generally it is about 20 centimeters, but larger ones can reach 30 centimeters. The body is spindle-shaped, with a short neck, a thin mouth, and a hook at the tip of the mouth, which looks like a gray-brown wild duck. The wings are long and narrow, like a sickle.
Shaq explained to him: "This is the short-tailed 鹱, BOSS. Don’t be surprised, this is the largest population of migrating birds in North America, and now what we see is only their first force, the real main force is behind."
Qin Shiou stared at Shaq in disbelief, and asked, "Isn't this all?"
Shaqdan made an estimate and said: "Every time you migrate, there are about 4 million short-tailed grebes in North America. Now there are at most 500,000, so this is obviously not all. You will see it in two days. Until all the short-tailed owls descend on the magnificent scene of the fishing ground!"
"It's so spectacular! It's incredible!"
After the shock, Qin Shiou couldn't help sighing, and said, "I admit that this scene is shocking, but I don't think this is a good thing. The loss of the fishing ground is a bit big now."
It’s not that he is stingy, so many seabirds come to the fishing grounds, they not only come to rest, but also come to hunt. It's not an exaggeration to say. After this group of seabirds invaded. The small fish in the fishing grounds have to be reduced by 10% to 20%.
Fortunately, the short-tailed hawk is a small seabird with a body size of no more than 30 cm, which has no effect on the big fish. If several million golden eagles appeared in the fishery, then Qin Shiou could directly declare bankruptcy.
Auerbach came out. Seeing these seabirds with emotion, said: "I don't think we should be sad, but happy. The short-tailed hawks have not stayed in our fishing grounds for a long time. They are clever little birds and only stay in the sea with abundant food. ."
Hearing what he said, Shaq was happy and said: "Yes, the short-tailed hawks stayed in the sea east of St. Johns for a short time and then flew directly to the Cabot Strait, and then to the vicinity of Sable Island. It’s been a long time since we stopped near our farewell island."
"So, their arrival is a good thing?" Qin Shiou asked with a wry smile.
Although the fishery only loses small fish and the big fish will not easily surface, the loss of the fishery is still not small.
Shaq and Auerbach smiled mysteriously and said: "Of course it is a good thing, BOSS, you don't need to bear the loss of the fishing ground. In another week or so, all the birds will leave. They are not eating our fish for nothing, they will give us. Leave a gift, a great gift."
Qin Shiou asked what it was, but no one in the group answered. Wei Ni seemed to know a little bit, smiling but not talking.
After the children got up, they found so many seabirds coming to the fishing grounds. They became excited and ran to the beach to chase the seabirds.
The happiest thing is the Labrador. Dogs and cats like to catch birds. Tigers and leopards run tirelessly on the beach, chasing flocks of birds everywhere, and they don’t know how tired they are.
The arrival of the bird flock is also a boost to the tourism of Farewell Island. The tourists are shocked. They living in the steel city, have they ever seen such a shocking natural scene?
The activities planned for mountaineering and going out to sea were all suspended. Tourists gathered on the coast and took crazy pictures, leaving this shocking scene in the mind and camera.
All restaurants on Farewell Island have introduced new dishes, and various short-tailed 鹱 methods have come out. You can cook all kinds of braised, grilled, boiled and steamed.
The short-tailed eagle is very fat, the bird meat is delicious and tender, and it is more delicious than the wild duck and pheasant. However, because the government does not allow large-scale capture of this kind of migratory birds, and they tend to migrate in large groups, they have not encountered an extinction crisis. Otherwise, the delicacy of this bird would have been eaten up long ago.
Don't look at Europe and the United States who are constantly calling for species protection. In fact, they have extinct wild species far more than the Chinese.
As Shaq said, in the next two days, more and more short-tailed grebes flew in. These birds occupied the entire sea area around the farewell island. Every noon they flew into the deep sea to prey, and they would bring one to the people. Kind of shocking feeling of black clouds pressing the city to destroy the city.
The short-tailed hawk mainly feeds on seaweed, shrimp and small marine fishes. It feeds mainly on the surface of the sea and often feeds while swimming.
They have strong wings, can fly into the deep sea and then float on the surface of the sea to rest, and their predatory footsteps can reach every part of the sea.
On the third day after the arrival of the birds, Hamley found Qin Shiou and told him the good news: “Qin, according to government regulations, if a large-scale flock of migrating birds descends on a private fishery, the fishery owner can get subsidies, about ten fish. The bird subsidizes one Canadian dollar a day."
"Who can count how many seabirds are there?" Qin Shiou understood. No wonder Shaq and the others said before that he could not bear the loss of the fishing grounds, and the Canadian government.
In addition, he is more interested in what kind of gifts these seabirds will bring him in a week? (To be continued~^~)
