notes	乌伦古湖是新疆北部鸟类迁徙通道上最重要的一个地点。此次我们在吉利湖南部的一个水湾水湾内记录到3只卷羽鹈鹕，湖区工作人员讲每年4到10月都可以看到，可能有繁殖。据我们观察，吉利湖北岸有很宽的芦苇带，许多雁鸭在此繁殖，卷羽鹈鹕完全可以藏身；只是近岸湖面密布捕鱼的“迷魂阵”，早晚机动渔船来往频繁，似乎又降低了繁殖的可能性，但也可以列为今后寻找卷羽鹈鹕在新疆的繁殖地的潜在地点。在吉利湖北岸的一小片树林中住着一群紫翅椋鸟，其中一只是口技天才，被Paul誉为世界上最有才的紫翅椋鸟—在半个多小时里，它模仿了20种不同的声音：扇尾沙锥、风头麦鸡，红脚鹬，黑耳鸢、家麻雀、寒鸦、人的口哨声，金框鸻、白腰杓鹬、黄喉蜂虎、家鸡、白腰草鹬、红嘴鸥、纵纹腹小枭、青蛙、金黄鹂、普通秧鸡、黑水鸡、骨顶鸡、和白冠攀雀的叫声，但据说象这种太注重追求求偶形式的鸟，通常是找不到伴侣的（难以想象会有雌鸟敢找一个和纵纹腹小枭叫声一样的雄鸟做自己的情侣）。我最关心的西红脚隼还没迁到（约5月底6月初迁来），它们的食物蜻蜓还很少。
