rout 乌鲁木齐--阜康--卡拉麦里有蹄类国家级保护区,核心区
equipment ZISS-85单筒 +sony w1;宾得#stL+适马400f5.6;双筒
notes 新一年度寻找黑百灵之旅.继新疆观鸟会2005年1月21日首次在卡拉麦里记录到250只黑百灵后,2006年1月2日在相同区域又记录到1600只的大群.每年冬天去拍摄黑百灵已成为新疆观鸟会的例行活动.鉴于卡拉麦里的一月天气过于寒冷(前两次夜晚零下30多度的低温使发动车成为很麻烦的问题),今年我们决定把活动提前到12月.出行前一天,王传波负责预报了后两天的天气:天气晴,最低气温在零下20度左右(老王预报天气的准确度在圈内是很有名的,大家公认预报水平常在乌鲁木齐气象台之上)--这正是我们期盼的好天气.9日早晨8.20集结完毕,鸟会一行4鸟人在夜色中踏上了征途.到了卡拉麦里保护区边缘,天色基本大亮了,只是位于不远处天山脚下的一个个炼焦碳厂冒出的浓烟产生的大雾笼罩了天空.即便如此,还是记录到了大群的黄嘴朱顶雀,石雀,凤头百灵,角百灵等鸟种.继续前行,等到了五彩湾附近,雾已消散,阳光明媚,沙漠被雪覆盖着,长在其上的梭梭森林披着霜挂,一派银妆素裹,在耀眼的阳光照射下,显得宁静安详----这里已进入了保护区的核心区.到了五彩湾,这附近是中石油的一个油田区,去年我们在这记录到了大群的太平鸟及赤颈鸫,苍头燕雀等,但不知何种原因,这次只有几只树麻雀,别的鸟一只未见.上午12时,在简单的午餐后,继续前行.数公里之后,一块巨大的告示牌立在路边,上书"昌吉准东煤电煤化工基地",项目简介中介绍工业园占地200平方公里,煤炭储量3000亿吨,几家国内知名能源企业在这计划建发电机组1500万千瓦,煤化工年产量1350万吨.远处传来隆隆的放炮声--前些时候造成乌鲁木齐大面积停暖事故的煤炭就出产在此.告示牌还标出了煤工业的规划区域图,看完之后,一种不祥预感袭上心头---前两次记录到黑百灵的地点就在规划区域图上.晕!这里可是卡拉麦里有蹄类国家级保护区的核心区啊.同车的昆仑说已有专家建议将保护区缩小,以解决能源开发和环境保护的矛盾,以及现行环保法面临的尴尬境地.建于核心区的煤化工基地已生米做成熟饭,或许这算是中国特色的解决办法.人是可以凑活着活的,黑百灵和其他动物不知行不行.我们进入一片开阔的荒原在保护区腹地搜索,茫茫雪原无边无际,几小时后放弃了搜索,未能找到黑百灵,连觅食痕迹也没发现.看来黑百灵越冬群很可能没来这里.是时间太早?还是被开矿惊扰?还是如资料所说,黑百灵的繁殖地和越冬地匀无定所,性喜游荡,前两次在相近地点被记录是巧合?这个迷团有待日后观察来解决吧.好在卡拉麦里是野生动物的天堂,没找到黑百灵也没让大家太郁闷.这里到处一派和谐景象:时常出现的鹅喉羚群甚不怕人,到很近处拍摄时才会小跑离去;离路边不远处的小山上站着几头蒙古野驴,旁若无人,若有所思,我们的出现也没打扰它们,难怪昆仑对野驴的真伪产生怀疑.神气的黑尾地鸦不时以家族形式出现,最多是一家5口.发现地点和十月份看到的地点相近,看来黑尾地鸦确实有家族领地,且范围在1-2公里内.猛禽比较多,其中秃鹫的数量是历次观鸟之最,它们或单或双很威严地站在山头上,大概是今年夏秋的干旱造成了保护区冬季野生动物死亡数量增多引来的吧..纵纹腹小枭和狂也不少,拍到了一只白化的棕尾狂,另有几只狂未能识别.狂的色型多变,再加上今年买到几本鸟类图鉴,繁多的色型介绍使我得了晕狂症,看来需要多花点工夫把狂搞搞清楚.还看到了3只草原雕的亚成体,并拍到了站立版,但按现有资料没找到以往草原雕在北疆的越冬记录,有待确认.天黑后宿于沙漠驿站.第二天一早,担心的事再次发生---车又被冻了,拆电瓶,烤电瓶,都打不着火.后来找到一辆大车才拖着,原路返回.回程我们继续搜索,记录到了蒙古沙雀,燕隼,灰背隼等鸟种,傍晚时分回到了乌鲁木齐.或许昆仑说的是对的,没找到黑百灵的信息本身也是有意义的--说明它确实是游牧鸟族.
