In the north-south migratory birds must pass through the passage, stands the world-famous Hangzhou Bay Bridge. Bridge, frequent birds of death, cause of death a mystery, attracted the attention of bird lovers and conservation organizations, the National Bird Banding Center conducted a two year observational study, the results will be released soon. □ reporter Kong Quan sent from Ningbo Before and after the Hangzhou Bay Bridge opened to traffic, a large number of birds died on the bridge, the bridge hearsay suspected bird "Bermuda" also uproar. Bridge is in the migratory birds the only way, hundreds of thousands of hundreds of species of migratory birds in the wetlands located on the south side of the bridge. The radius of an area of 43.5 square kilometers of wetlands known as the world-class habitat for migratory birds. The death of birds on the bridge caused great concern National Bird Banding Center, the center after nearly a year of observation, the results will be announced in the near future. Houyun Qiu, deputy director of the center told the "Democracy and Legal Times" reporter: "I believe the death of birds and bridge-related." positive impact on the domestic Bridge built on migratory research, she hopes to make research results relevant departments in Bridge design and construction, not destruction of migratory bird ecology. Frequent dead birds on the bridge "Before the completion of the bridge, we found a large number of birds on the deck of the bodies." Office of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge Authority director he said. Hangzhou Bay Bridge on May 1, 2008 opening, this world's longest cross-sea bridge in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Haiyan north, south, Zhejiang Cixi City, a total length of 36 kilometers, across the Hangzhou Bay. This greatly shortens the distance between Ningbo and Shanghai Bridge, with a current traffic volume over twenty thousand. A member of the Zhejiang Wild Bird Society of corroborated saying: "April 25, 2008, I and a group of friends together secretly to ride on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, about 18 km ride has been the center of the bridge at the way We found the body of many migratory birds. At that time the bridge has not been open, basically no car to and from, you can exclude the birds may be killed by a car. " After the bridge opened to traffic, often run around in Hangzhou and Ningbo, two businessmen Lee saw dead birds on the deck: "Sometimes I drove to Shanghai service, after Hangzhou Bay Bridge, stumbled on a clean deck, there are several It does not look like rubbish black spots near Fangmanchesu open to find a group of dead birds were rolling badly mutilated, an estimated ten to only Back when they see this scene, there are so many dead birds on the bridge too strange! " Yip, a media work in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Wild Bird Society members had followed conducted a field observation. They 60 kilometers per hour with the provisions of the slowest in two kilometers from the starting point of the bridge, they found a dead bird in full the hard shoulder of the road, a few minutes later found another ...... trip back and forth to the sea salt Cixi direction found five dead birds, sea salt direction Cixi to find three, in addition to a few stalls bloody dead birds. A Bridge Maintenance Centre staff confirmed in an interview on the bridge of dead birds frequently, especially at night appear higher probability of Phoenix. This case attracted the attention of some birds protected persons Zhejiang province, and were observed. According to their observations, if encountered heavy fog or other inclement weather, the Phoenix will be some more, mostly dead pigeons and waterfowl, geese and ducks and other birds fly high, it did not seem to find too. In mid-January, the Conservation Center for the bridge SHAN DONG told "Democracy and Legal Times" reporter, when the bridge just opened more dead birds, usually occurs at night. Phoenix appeared on the bridge more in spring and autumn, but this time, it is the migratory season. The only way for migratory birds Hangzhou Bay wetland is a stopover for migratory birds. It is located in Hangzhou Bay Bridge south of large open wetlands, one of the Department of China's eight saltwater wetlands, an area 43.5 square kilometers. There is a vast beach, including large areas of reed marshes and grassland, migratory birds like the environment and abundant food. Bird migration is a story about commitment. Each year, they will travel between Australia and Siberia, migration distances of up to 15,000 kilometers. Such a long journey, only to stop two or three times between them, the Hangzhou Bay wetland is one stopover. April and May each year, they are on schedule from the south, stop in here about 20 days and continue northbound. Autumn, they turn to fly south, again in September and October this wetland foraging stopover. In these migratory birds, both migratory distances on Earth shorebirds birds, there are spot-billed pelican, black-Pa heron and other rare and endangered birds. Currently, there are wetland birds, 102 kinds, there are eight kinds of rare birds at the national level to protect animals, including endangered crested ibis is a bird national level. "If there are no Hangzhou Bay Wetlands such a transit station, they will not fly to the destination." Australia's famous bird ecology expert, Vice-waders Bird Study Group filet Mr. Shi Zhuo said in the study. "There's people in agriculture and fishery based on the shoals of fish shrimp, good ecological environment, and reeds, weeds, very suitable habitat for migratory birds, breeding, like egrets seen all year round." Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge Authority director office said. In the Hangzhou Bay Bridge has not been completed, Hangzhou Bay Wetlands do announce, to Hangzhou Bay into a world-class wetland habitat for migratory birds and bird watching wetlands of international influence, some casual farm nearby wetland birdwatching as project to attract tourists. On an area of about 10,000 square meters of the offshore platform, a Gaochu Tower has been capped. Hangzhou Bay Wetlands project attracted World Bank and the Global Environment Fund (GEF) of great concern, the World Bank provided a $ 5 million grant for the project to support the natural wetland area and wetland sewage treatment project construction. GEF hope that the recent years, the number of birds and species within wetlands can increase year by year, increasing the amplitude of not less than 10%. But across the North-South migratory birds go through Hangzhou Bay Bridge between channels, is not net of death of migratory birds it? Asuka's "Bermuda",http://www.matsue-yado.com/otoku/clip.cgi? Hangzhou Phoenix Bridge on frequent, reminiscent of the North Atlantic Sargasso Sea horror and mysterious Bermuda. So, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge will also birds "Bermuda"? Many people made a different guess the bird's death. One theory is that the birds are exhausted, the birds in the migratory process, due to faster metabolism when passing through Hangzhou Bay or such a large span of the Yangtze River estuary waters, if the constitution is poor or failed to timely food supplement, may be In the long exhausting flight died. A netizen named Daniel, said: because of work, I have repeatedly boarded seven kilometers of a sea offshore wind towers, each time to see how all dead birds on the platform. We think this may be because no place to stay for several kilometers around, tired or sick birds fly in this rest stop, the last stage in the tower dead tired. There are records show, migration is indeed the highest mortality of migratory birds during the life. Some of the sick and elderly in long-distance flight, such as crossing the Strait of Malta or the Sahara, and in bodies of water in the desert, since not find resting places and exhausted. However, there are large areas in Hangzhou Bay Wetlands, where birds rest a lot, "he said exhausted" by the question. Another argument is that the Department of killed birds. An officer once in the Hangzhou Bay Bridge construction reflects his construction in 2007, lamppost not installed, the bridge often see pigeons and other birds,woolrich outlet, but rarely found the bird's body. A soldier in the army of the analysis, and the birds are likely to be hit the guy dead, his army patrol lines,hogan outlet online, telephone lines often have a bird hit, caught wind days killed more. He and his comrades also often pick up the dead bird to eat after a windy day, keep a good injury to retrieve fly. Office of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge Authority director He Wenhong judge this argument probability. He said the birds have phototaxis, bright lights at night Bridge misled them so killed. Hangzhou Bay Bridge lamppost lane on both sides, about 2800, there are 187 stay cables. Some analysts,tiffany milano, night birds flew toward the lighted bridge, hit a lamppost or cable-stayed and died. This argument has been China Zoological Society Ornithological Association Wei Tianhao recognition. Wei formerly worked at the Kunming Institute of Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has long been engaged avian ecology. He said that in Yunnan and nearby provinces, some mountain Yakou night lit a fire in the autumn, there will be "birds flying into the fire" phenomenon. Initially it was thought that the birds "collective suicide", in fact, this bird phototaxis related. Wei Tianhao through access to information discovery, and the birds are particularly sensitive to yellow light, because of its penetrating power. The majority of lighting on the bridge and on the bridge with the car are flashing yellow light. Meanwhile data also recorded most SMEs are night bird migration, which seems to explain exactly why the birds at night killed more. Professor of East China Normal University, Shanghai Birds Professional Committee also said he was doing research at the airport bird strike, often see birds fall from a height below the glass curtain wall Pudong Airport. The windows of the building is too big, too transparent, bound reflection of ambient light. Thus, the windows are much brighter than four weeks, the birds were scrambling to rush over. To this end, Tang Sixian speculate, "too bright lights on the bridge, so that the birds produce visual blind, can not see the buildings around and hit up." After two months of research report released Since the bridge opened to traffic, far away in Beijing's deputy director of the National Bird Banding Center Houyun Qiu, always concerned about this strange phenomenon. She told the "Democracy and Legal Times" reporter, Hangzhou Bridge when the bridge just opened there are dozens to find hundreds of dead birds per day, and not open to traffic before more. Long-term studies of the birds, bird migration phenomenon Hou Hangzhou Bay Bridge as a research, she wanted to have much impact in the end proved Bridge on migratory birds? Hou has worked with the Forestry Department of Zhejiang Province and Zhejiang Haiyan concerned wildlife epidemic sources and disease monitoring station personnel, go with the bridge. "Hou Zhuren commissioned us to do surveillance, but the bridge can not stop, and over a bridge back to 160 yuan, then we do not do." Haiyan wild animal epidemic sources and disease monitoring station owners, said Ye. September 2008,http://www.yi-health.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=3599, the National Bird Banding Center and Zhejiang Wild Bird Society signed a Hangzhou Bay Bridge bird monitoring project cooperation agreement, officially commissioned Zhejiang wild birds will Hangzhou Bay Bridge and its surroundings as a bird survey, which The survey continued until October 2009. Zhejiang Wild Bird Society staff once a month to make the bridge monitoring, to provide data to the National Bird Banding Center for analysis. in Hangzhou Bay Bridge and found a bridge of color and light color daylight birds affected. Whole bridge using seven colors, namely red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple. Every five kilometers more for a color designer of the bridge is intended to reduce the driver's visual fatigue driving. But Hou Yunqiu think, blue and yellow birds will produce visual effects in the extreme weather. In previous studies, Hou found some Net birder is the use of light to succeed. Houyun Qiu also noted that bird strike occurred in extreme weather, such as fog or heavy rain days, visibility is low. In order to confirm the cause of death of birds, the National Bird Banding Center dedicated to Zhejiang Wild Bird Society is configured with a freezer, on the Hangzhou Bay Bridge Conservation Center, used to place the dead birds, the anatomical cause of death and other laboratory analysis. "They gave us a disposable plastic gloves, plastic bags, pick up dead birds require compiled a good number, in the freezer, last month, they will take the freezer." Bridge Maintenance Center for SHAN DONG Say. In recent years, some domestic offshore construction of the bridge caused Hou attention. Hou said,roshe run pas cher, including the construction of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, and the future of the Bohai Bay Bridge, are on bird migration path, whether the impact on migratory birds, need scientific proof. Bird mortality due to collision, more studies abroad. United States, "2006 Best Science Writing", "The World Without Us,http://www.railroadpix.com," a book that, in order to avoid the impact of aircraft, many of them have warning lights on lighthouses safe. In the 1980s, it is estimated that each year in the US alone there are nearly two hundred million birds die due to hit the tower while. The most serious casualties are migratory birds,http://www.blogharbor.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi, especially migratory birds fly at night. Experts say human pride building, inadvertently slaughter of birds has become a machine. want to monitor migratory birds near the bridge, draw scientific conclusions for the future, consider the impact of migration on migratory birds at sea bridge design and construction, by experts, to take some measures to protect the birds. Hangzhou Bay Bridge birds monitoring has ended, Hou said that the data is aggregated results of this study will be published in two months. "When will the construction sector to put forward some suggestions, such as the bridge should not be too bright colors,http://jp.cchr.org/global-locator.html?search=Taiwan, like yellow, blue, and light color." Hou preliminary judgment is largely dead birds are killed on the bridge, because the weather is fine there does not occur when the moon the stars of this situation, but at night foggy weather, the birds are forced to go Under fly,http://cash099.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1568897&fromuid=15834, Ben lights went. Currently, the Hangzhou Bay Bridge management side as well as local governments,http://periscopewebvideo.com/user/62564/fbconnect, there is no measure against bird bridge death. Check Wentao Hangzhou Bay wetland deputy director, said the National Bird Banding Center and other research results came out, identify the reason, before making a decision. However, for the birds hit the bridge, abroad countermeasures. For example,moncler outlet online, some foreign cities in many striking suspension bridge fluttering reflective and reflectors to warn birds. Some netizens suggested that the Hangzhou Bay Bridge between poles horizontal pull and vertical hanging five flags, Evening birds may avoid reflux cyclone warning lights, bridge building and bridge formation,http://kaede.cc3.org, effectively slow down high-speed swoop birds lights and bridge. The spectrum refraction colored flags can significantly reduce the formation of yellow light to attract birds, so birds effectively avoid the bridge and lights.
