First Spotted of First-Class Protected Bird, Horned Puffinus, at Xingkai Lake
Longan News reported (reporter Shi Jike) that starting on the 16th, scientific monitoring and research personnel were conducting spring migratory bird monitoring in the Xingkai Lake National Nature Reserve when they first photographed a rare and endangered national first-class protected bird – the Horned Puffinus 1 individual.
This Horned Puffinus was stationed near the river Songhua River at Xingkai Lake's only outflow, and staff successfully snapped photos of it using recording equipment. This is the Xingkai Lake National Nature Reserve's second time monitoring and first time photographing the Horned Puffinus since 1998. This Horned Puffinus is a subadult, and its exact age cannot be determined due to the distance of observation.
