notes	探访老朋友--长耳枭.今天去米泉办完事,之后到青湖,计划完成3个观鸟任务:1)看看长耳枭进点了没有.2)了解今冬毛脚狂数量巨减的现象有没改善3)数一下越冬绿头鸭的数量,看看在这个暖冬有没有反常.2006年2月18日我们去青格达湖途中,无意在距离路边50米处的一棵榆树上发现了一群长耳枭,榆树种在一户回族人家的园子里.当时我们对这个发现很是惊喜--由于长耳枭怪异的叫声及可能给主人带来不祥的谬言,使的它们很不受人欢迎,处境艰难,通常被人驱逐,三年来我们在乌鲁木齐周边仅发现这唯一一起人枭和平相处的特例.院子的主人姓马,是个中年人,很健谈,说起这群"老猫",如数家珍--它们每年11月下旬回来,来年3月下旬离开;每天天黑时按顺序飞走,到周边稻田里捕食老鼠,天亮时归巢,最多时18只.老马还为一只受伤的老猫治过伤,并给它喂肉直到痊愈.为了宣传主人的爱"猫"义举,改变人们成腐的观念,我们联系了新闻媒体进行了报道.不料好心惹来了麻烦--闻讯前来探望和拍摄的人络绎不绝,严重干扰了"老猫"的休息,并时常被惊飞,每天回来的数量也不稳定了.老马意识到情况不妙,开始紧锁大门谢绝参观,局面才得到控制.这件事也给了我们深刻的教训,报道一些怕干扰的鸟时要慎重,以免适得其反.自此,我每次路过这里时,都会停车看一下老猫的情况.进入2006年冬季后,又开始担心了,老猫们会如期回来吗?经过几次观察,情况都不太好,有时2-3只,有时干脆没有.罪过啊!在间隔了1个多月后,今天我又去探望,发现老猫们已回来了,树上有12只!,其中至少有1只是幼鸟.和老马交谈得知:他今年仍然采取闭门锁院,长耳枭已经淡出人们好奇的视线,它们的生活规律也已恢复正常.我悬着的心落下了,颇感欣慰.告别老马,我开始在沿途的稻田里找毛脚狂.这个冬天,我们发现来越冬的猛禽数量有减少现象,,毛脚狂更少,到目前为止在青湖附近一只未见,而往年冬天毛脚狂是很常见的.今天的观察结果还是照旧--只记录到少量普通狂,大狂及棕尾狂,没有毛脚.推测可能由于暖冬的原因,往年来越冬的毛脚狂改在更靠北的地方越冬,造成今冬青湖附近数量少的局面.随后进行第三个任务:数绿头鸭.但未能完成--罪魁祸手还是暖冬,湖边稻田里的冰面上有条小道,可用来通行到有大群绿头鸭越冬的老龙河入水口,通常要到3月初才化冻,但今年提前融化了,近2公里的便道我才走了100多米,就数次踩破提前融化的冰面踩到水里,鞋子里灌满了刺骨的冰水,裤子上挂着冰啧,再走下去情况会更糟,就决定撤退,掉头一路狂奔而逃,某个伟人说过---大踏步的后退是为了大踏步的前进吗.边跑还边寻思他日择期再战.
