Sunrise, Sea of Clouds, Raptors ... What does it feel like when these appear in the park city under the snow-capped mountains?
Since the monitoring of migratory raptors was officially launched in the spring of 2020, the "Chengdu Raptor Research" group has been paying attention to the relationship between Longquan Mountain Spring and autumn raptors' migration and weather. The group is composed of a group of birdwatchers spontaneously, mainly observing and studying Chengdu Plain raptors and collecting relevant information on migrating raptors.

These raptors mainly include ordinary hornet , sparrow hawk , crested beehawk , black kite , boot falcon jew , etc. On September 28, 2022, they also observed data on the migration of nearly 2,000 birds of prey at the "Liangfengya" monitoring point in Longquan Mountain in a single day, while the previous single-day observation record was 814.

Migratory Raptor Monitors told reporters that according to their statistics, the migration of raptors in different seasons has an important relationship with weather and climate. Through such observation process, it is possible to not only record information on species and quantity of raptors, but also to watch over birds' migration and assist in protection. "Raptors are at the top of the food chain, and to a certain extent, they can also reflect whether the ecosystem is healthy. A place where raptors appear or migrate, indicating that this area has an environment suitable for its survival and habitation."

The following is the self-reported by a migrant raptor monitoring volunteer "Ying Ting":
Following last weekend, it was another two days of cloud-rain mode, and the weather forecast began to clear up on Wednesday. According to previous experience in Longquan Mountain, this continuous rain will pile up migrating birds of prey in a certain place on the way, so it is likely that birds of prey will be concentrated on traveling on sunny days after the rain.
The record breakings in recent years are almost achieved under such weather conditions. In addition, on Tuesday evening, enthusiasts in the group reported that more than 400 birds of prey were passed by Jintang north of Liangfengya monitoring point, and it was estimated that it had spent the night in the northern section of Longquan Mountain. On Tuesday night, everyone was extremely excited and held back their energy, preparing to do a big vote on September 28!
At 6 a.m. on Wednesday, other "watching enthusiasts" arrived at the monitoring point. The clouds were flying and the clouds were shining, and the snowy mountains were reflected. The Qionglai Mountains and the Longmen Mountains and the Longmen Mountains and the peaks were lined up in one line.

Under rare and sufficient lighting conditions, the birds of prey have a clear color and full of slight appearance. The stripes of the sparrow eagle, the "flower pants" of the crested eagle , the flower tail of the crested beehawk, the belt and wrist spots of the ordinary trolley, the vertical lines of the body of the black kite baby... Under the reflection of the blue sky, they occasionally play and fight, chase and circle, and then continue to fly south. It's so beautiful!

Starting from 9:30 am, the number of birds of prey passing begins to surge. During the half-hour period from 10:00 to 10:30, the number reached its peak on the day. "Chew Point" was the commanding heights of the north view we observed in autumn. So when we looked up from the ground below, we saw the raptors "blow up" from the top of the mountain in the Chew Point, and then covered the sky like fireworks.

The highest mountain top is the "carving position", and ordinary turtles have become the main force of the Longquan Mountain migratory army in this season; crested beehawks often twist their flexible necks and look around and rush around; crested eagles seem to like to play and make noise; boots and falcons (round big heads) have also begun to appear in a concentrated manner, and they shine with "front lights" and fly south with the continuous Eagle River; black eagles are not willing to be outdone, and they have started to take the stage, crushing over their heads with a steady aura, and the surrounding airflow seems to be disturbed by their wings...
After a second, as of 18:30, the total number of migrating birds of prey monitored on September 28 reached 1,863, including 32 boots and 6 black carvings. "Today, boots and falcons appeared in large numbers, and finally the temperament difference is revealed. When you come later, you can recognize them at a glance. Of course, you also need the right height and light."
"There is a bird path in the west to Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei." They have passed by in an orderly manner for thousands of years, and have met us briefly on the road of life and death. We should cherish this wonderful fate and feel the current journey of life with them.
