notes	另加欧金翅X1。新疆观鸟会尼勒克喀什河河谷观鸟摄鸟行。去年7月底我来喀什河河谷游览，行程匆匆，但这儿优美的景致和繁多的鸟种给人留下了深刻的印象，尤其是河边柳丛里柳莺极多，难以分辨。因此建议鸟会的夏季集体活动放在了这里。24日一大早，我们在乌市的3人就出发了，到石河子接上徐捷，独山子接上赵勃，中午13时开始沿独库公路向目标挺进。进山了，发现路上的车比往常少很多，就有点纳闷（出发前一日咨询过公路局和旅游局，都说路没问题）。后来遇到一辆警车，拦下来询问得知：由于连续3天下雨，有一处路基塌方通行困难，另外山上偶尔会有石头下落，危险性较大，警察建议我们最好别过。鸟会的兄弟姐妹们身在各地，聚在一起很不容易，长途跋涉到这，那能轻言返回！走着看吧，怀着忧虑的心情一路到了毛留沟道班，问了养路工，说是路没问题，但独库公路的危险性应该有所耳闻。是啊，去年我们来这时确实感到位于一边是崖壁，一边是奎屯河深谷的独库公路崎岖难行，但此后经历了两次昆仑山之行，相比独库公路应该算是坦途了。继续前行，直到和一辆乔尔玛方向驶来的油罐车汇车，担心才烟消云散了。沿途的鸟种不多，天也开始下起了小雨，路边的告示不允许停车，一路驶过塌方路段，翻过哈希勒根达坂，到达乔尔玛-进入喀什河河谷了。雨还没停，但路边已能看到不少鸟了，河谷优美的景色也展现到了眼前。转向西面的路，顺河谷而下。20公里后，到了唐布拉草原，雨也停了，徐捷喊到：停车，听到长脚秧鸡叫了！果然，路北面的草库仑被铁丝网拦着，一直延续到山上，草丛里的数个地点都传来一个双音节，象拨梳子的声音-尖锐响亮而不动听，同行中只有徐捷见过并听到过长脚秧鸡。王传波叫大家先别下车，用望远镜搜索。草太高太密了，从过膝到一人高不等。搜索未果，我们进入草库仑，想一睹长脚秧鸡的芳姿，这家活太诡秘了，明明听到从一个地点发出叫声，等走到那，啥也见不到，在几十米外又叫了起来，却没看到他转移时应该带来的草动。我等不甘心，又多次搜寻，还是一毛未见——叫声又在不远处响起，好象在示威。郁闷，简直是精灵！（回来后我调出了国外的鸟鸣网站，确认是长脚秧鸡无疑）赵勃还拿出了录象机录声音，生境。草原上的野花太美了，种类繁多，颜色各异，伊冰雪儿用小数码一一收入。在此后的几次停车以及第2天的拍鸟过程中，基本都听到了长脚秧鸡的叫声——可推测在喀什河河谷的草原上，长脚秧鸡的数量相当可观，只是我们对它的生活习性了解太少和时间短，未能看见。另外，普通朱雀的数量很大，极为常见。雨又下起来了，我们走走停停，来到了此行的终点-种蜂场，野宿种蜂场。大家都期盼第2天是个好天气。25日早7点，王传波叫起了大家。天空的云很少，我们期盼的好天气如期而至-繁忙的拍鸟之旅开始了。逆河而上，选择了草原，灌丛，树林，山坡，河谷等各种典型生境，找鸟拍鸟，心情愉悦，收获颇多。当然也不会放过沿途电线上站的鸟。家八哥，赛氏篱莺，水鹨新疆亚种，黑胸歌鸲，高原岩鹨，胡兀鹫，岩燕等一一收入囊中。此次活动在收获的喜悦中结束——在风景如此优美的地方观鸟拍鸟，真是超级享受呀。遗憾还是有的：没拍上长脚秧鸡，黑胸歌鸲雄鸟拍的不清晰，没看到蓝胸佛法僧（老王为此愤愤不平，去年那麽多，咋这次一只没见呢？），柳莺种类数量都见的太少。。。。-——这又为我们下次再来留下了念想。回来后整理照片，查资料，整理记录，辩论鸟种，展望下一次活动。。。忙的不亦乐呼--这大概就是观鸟的魅力吧！
