notes 波斑鸨追寻之旅。波斑鸨是我们倾慕已久的鸟种,王传波近几年收集了不少资料,行前我们又做了大量的功课。木垒是波斑鸨最大和最重要的繁殖地,这里气候干燥,降水量少于300毫米,缺乏地表水,土层薄,只有12厘米左右,不适合农业耕种,长有大量木本猪毛菜,蒿属。藜属,假木贼等荒漠植被及少量针矛,蒲公英,被做为冬季牧场使用。自95年高行宜,姚军等发现这里有波斑鸨繁殖后,中国,阿联酋等五国联合考察队已连续多年进行了考察。波斑鸨每年3-9月来新疆和哈萨克繁殖,9月中下旬回阿联酋,伊朗,巴基斯坦,阿富汗越冬,木垒是波斑鸨最大和最重要的繁殖地。专家们划出的繁殖区域有2000平方公里,在这么大的地域找鸟比大海捞针好不了多少(考察队第一次在第7天才发现),我们新疆鸟会一行3人准备了5天的食品,水及户外扎营装备抱着试一试的心态踏上了征途。进入荒原,只有几条偏北的东西向的土路,我们时而走土路,时而自辟道路,向着北偏东方向搜索前进。哈萨克牧民们正准备向南山转场,放牧着羊,马和骆驼,和考察队以前遇到的情况一样-他们基本都没见过波斑鸨。这里虽荒凉,但并不枯燥,角百灵,沙即鸟,漠即鸟,短趾百灵不少,还看见了3只沙鸡(在空中飞,没看清种类),一只沙狐(波斑鸨最大的天敌),6只鹅喉羚以及大量的沙虎,沙蜥,伪步行虫(它们都是波斑鸨的副食))。我们按照以往考察队的方法-—走1-2公里就停车,架单筒搜索。走了50公里后,植被组成发生变化,以藜科为主的10-20厘米的低矮植被中开始散布了40-60厘米的木本猪毛菜(波斑鸨的主食),眼前一亮-这正是资料中波班鸨繁殖地的典型生境!周边放牧着马和骆驼。果然,没走几公里,一只波斑鸨被惊飞,颈侧的丝状婚羽很清晰,雄性。飞了几百米后落地,没拍清楚。经搜索,还发现三只在它附近(颈侧的黑丝羽少而浅,可能是雌鸟),很机警,保护色也很好(只有走动是才能发现),想接近拍摄,距离三四百米开外即飞走了。继续前行,又发现一只被惊飞,飞的很远。又开始搜索前进,几公里后我们的梦想实现了-一只雌鸟可以接近到100米左右,拍到了较清晰的站立版,降落版和隐藏版(飞不远,可能巢在附近,亦或受伤?),真是幸运我们提前完成了任务。天色晚了,风力加大,扎帐篷有困难,我们开始向西南方向边搜索边撤退,夜宿大路边的小驿站。第二天一大早,我们决定趁胜追击,看看幸运之神会不会第二次降临--寻找小鸨,据资料介绍,位于天山北坡波斯坦乡的山前丘陵地带曾经有小鸨分布。到那里后很是失望-走了十几公里,山前丘陵地带虽贫瘠,但基本被开垦了,不但小鸨,别的鸟比荒漠中也少很多。近几年小鸨基本没有观察记录大约与它们的栖息地被普遍开垦有直接关系。两鸨对比,波斑鸨是幸运的,可算是古语“井以甘泽,李以苦存”的最好注解!回程时还去了奇台林场,然后原路返回。此次行程870公里。
