notes	科克苏湿地附近是一个非常好的观鸟地点.核心区苇湖有专人管理,牧民和鸟和谐相处,受人类干扰较少.现有苇湖边缘有很多半干旱草原,可以看出原来也是苇湖的一部分,整齐地规划了排碱沟,准备开垦为农田,好在似乎停下来有相当长的时间了.四种鹞子在很近的区域里共处,PAUL说这种情况很罕见,可能是由于适合生境太少造成的;盐湖边的苇丛里可能有遗鸥和小欧繁殖,沼泽太深,Paul费了很大的工夫也没能接近,这有待于未来观察验证;13日上午是阴天,一对赤麻鸭一前一后,13只幼鸟夹在中间,在戈壁上列队行进--它们的目的地可能是四五公里外的盐湖,很是有趣,Paul不同意下车拍摄,担心惊扰它们.在这次观鸟活动中,Paul通常尽可能避免接近鸟和巢区,无意接近时也要我们快速离开,这种保护理念很值得我们学习.
