Birding notes are an essential part of birding activities. Taking notes at the end of each birding activity is often the best process for review and re-learning. Long-term, voluminous birding notes are not only a record of personal experience, but also a testimony of growing competence. A large number of accumulated birding notes can reflect the characteristics and patterns of bird life behaviors such as foraging, courtship, migration, etc., and help birdwatchers gain a deeper understanding of birds.
----------------------------------
Living in the city, surrounded by reinforced concrete forests, nature seems far away from us. In our constant search for a connection with nature, we found that although the blue water and green mountains are hard to find, the birds soaring in the vast sky are easy to see.
Birds are boundless and are nature's best messengers. Throughout the year, with twenty-four solar terms, migratory birds come and go, back and forth, making us think about the relationship between climate, environment and birds. Little birds may vote for the ecological environment with their lives, and where the environment is good, they will go to roost and feed.
There was such a girl, she used the city under her feet as a base and began a long exploration and observation for more than a year. From coastal wetlands, to urban parks, from rice fields and orchards, to rural mountains and forests, despite the heavy academic work, despite the epidemic, she still squeezed out precious time, overcome many difficulties, resolutely went to nature, and became the most faithful and sincere recorders.
In her opinion, whenever you know a bird, it has a name in your heart, and it is no longer an ordinary "bird", but an important friend for you. The more familiar you are with them, the more you know that they are fragile; the more you know about them, the more you feel that birds are not easy to live and feel pity. She unconsciously have an extra responsibility on her shoulders - to protect birds and protect our common home.
At present, she makes use of her expertise in Chinese painting of flowers and birds, combines bird protection with traditional painting art, and pours her heart and soul into forming 24 bird-watching painting notes, using the paintings as an exhibition to publicize bird protection and transmit traditional culture.
To protect birds, the strength of individuals is far from enough, one more bird watcher, one more person who cares about nature. To this end, our Nature Observation Society held a unique popular science painting exhibition for her, sharing her bird-watching notes on the 24 solar terms with everyone, hoping that more people would understand birds, and then spontaneously love birds and love nature.
In this city, a story of a girl, a group of nature-loving HFI students and flying feathers, continues...
