夏津：好生态引来美天鹅

Recently， more than 50 white swans from Siberia have arrived at the National Wetland Park in Xiajin County， Dezhou City， Shandong Province， preparing to live and overwinter here． The pure white swans glide with their wings spread， lightly step on the water， or play and forage， forming a stunning ecological picture．

近日，山东省德州市夏津县的国家湿地公园迎来50余只白天鹅，它们来自西伯利亚地区，准备在此栖息越冬。洁白的天鹅或展翅滑翔、或轻盈踏水、或嬉戏觅食，构成了一幅绝美的生态画卷。

In recent years， with the continuous improvement of the ecological environment in Xiajin County， the National Wetland Park has attracted more and more birds to＂settle down＂ here for winter and reproduction． Since February 2020， 45 batches of 1175 swans， including big swans， small swans， and spotted swans， have been monitored in the Huijin Lake Reservoir and Jiulong Lake of Jiulongkou National Wetland Park in Xiajin County． Large numbers of migratory birds such as the Phoenix headed Submarine Duck， Red headed Submarine Duck， Reverse billed Sandpiper， and Cormorant have also passed through， while ordinary mermaids， red breasted mermaids， and spotted mermaids overwinter in the Huijin Lake Reservoir in Xiajin County．

近年来，随着夏津县生态环境的不断改善，国家湿地公园吸引了越来越多的鸟类来此“安家”过冬、繁衍栖息。自2020年2月以来，在夏津县九龙口国家湿地公园惠津湖水库、九龙湖先后监测到大天鹅、小天鹅、疣鼻天鹅45批1175只，凤头潜鸭、红头潜鸭、反嘴鹬、鸬鹚等大批候鸟过境，普通秋沙鸭、红胸秋沙鸭、斑头秋沙鸭在夏津惠津湖水库越冬。

In May 2020， it was detected in the education area of Jiulongkou National Wetland Park that the Aurora sparrow had settled down． In 2021， the national second－class protected animal Spoonbill was detected． In March 2022， the first national first－class protected animal， the Oriental White Stork， was detected； In July 2022， the activity of the critically endangered species and national first－class protected animal， the blue headed diving duck， was detected． We have rescued 2 first－class protected animals， including the Great Bustard， and more than 10 second－class protected animals， including the Eagle， Long eared Owl， Aurora Sparrow， Red Falcon， Black winged Kite， and Swan．

2020年5月在九龙口国家湿地公园宣教区监测到震旦鸦雀“安家落户”。2021年监测到国家二级保护动物琵嘴鹭。2022年3月首次监测到国家一级保护动物东方白鹳；2022年7月，监测到极度濒危物种、国家一级保护动物青头潜鸭活动。先后救助国家一级保护动物大鸨2只、国家二级保护动物苍鹰、长耳鸮、震旦鸦雀、红隼、黑翅鸢、大天鹅等10余只。

The habitat of birds confirms the good ecological environment of the wetlands in Xiajin County． But behind this is the efforts made by Xiajin County over the years in continuous restoration and management．

鸟儿的栖息，印证了夏津县湿地生态环境的良好。但这背后，是夏津县多年来持续修复管护所付出的努力。

Water is the core element of wetland conservation and restoration． In response to the local climate and environment， Xiajin County actively explores various ecological governance models and implements wetland restoration projects in the northern periphery of the Huijin Lake Reservoir in the Jiulongkou National Wetland Park conservation area of the county． More than 200 acres of habitats such as shallow shoals， bays， forests， and grasslands have been transformed to create habitats for various birds to inhabit， feed on， and breed．

水是湿地保护修复的核心要素。为应对当地曾经的“沙丘地”，夏津县积极探索多种生态治理模式，在该县九龙口国家湿地公园保育区惠津湖水库外围北部实施湿地恢复工程，完成浅滩、回湾、林地、草地等生境改造200余亩，为各种鸟类营造栖息、取食、繁殖场所。

The former＇sand dune land＇ is now a safe habitat for birds． The good ecological environment and abundant wetlands and mudflat in Xiajin County have become a＂gas station＂ for migratory birds to supplement energy and recuperate． A large number of national protected wild birds pass through here． Every year， hundreds of swans stop here to supply， drawing a beautiful ecological picture of chasing＂Qing＂ and＂Green＂．

曾经的“沙丘地”，如今已是鸟类安然栖息之地。夏津县良好的生态环境和丰富的湿地、滩涂已成为候鸟补充能量、休养生息的“加油站”，大量国家保护的野生鸟类从这里经过，每年有几百只天鹅在此停歇补给，绘就了一幅追“清”逐“绿”秀美生态画卷。
