The mountains and forests are still green, and the maple leaves are dyed with elixirs. In late autumn, Yimen County, Yuxi City is a good time when the sky is high and the clouds are light and the autumn scenery is pleasant.
In Meiying Community, Longquan Street, at the junction of the city and the suburbs, farmers are ploughing the fields after autumn harvest. A large group of egrets surround the tiller and pecking at the insects and ants that turn out to the surface with the soil. A picture of harmonious integration of humans and egrets attracted the footsteps of passers-by and attracted a large number of photography enthusiasts to take pictures.
Egret is a species on the list of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Its living conditions or abnormal migrations are often associated with the ecological environment. It is called a monitoring bird for atmosphere and water quality by the international environmental protection community. In recent years, Yimen County has followed the concept of ecological priority and green development, with clear water and beautiful mountains and beautiful shores and beautiful scenery. A good ecological environment is the main reason for attracting egrets to gather here to live.
Egrets are snow-white, their body is light and slender, and often flock to feed fish, shrimps, locusts, mole crickets, 4 and other aquatic and terrestrial insects and small invertebrates, with calm and elegant posture. The poem "Egret" by the poet Qiu Kui of the Song Dynasty describes his physical appearance and habits vividly: "The birds do not have this pattern, and they stand on a jade body. The clearness is like a Zen practitioner, and the selves are like fasting people. The green seedlings and grasses are outside the lotus, and the dead reeds are broken. The mouths are still buried, and I look for fine scales all day long."
Egrets are very vigilant, and it is generally difficult for humans to get close to. However, these egrets in the plum camp have long been harmonious with humans. They are not afraid of the rumbling of the tillage machine, nor do they avoid the camera lens. Sometimes they walk in the fields to feed calmly, and sometimes they fly lightly and elegantly in the azure sky. The white wings and graceful figure form a graceful scenery, which is pleasing to the eye.
Where autumn scenery is pleasant, egrets fly freely. This is the unique charm and surprise that Yimen in the water city in central Yunnan has.
