观察温泉河河谷冬季的鸟类。各鸟种的数量记录为单次最大数量。
博尔塔拉河谷的上游人称温泉河,温泉河谷在新疆地图上向西突出,北、西、南三面和哈萨克斯坦接界,达坂海拔在3300米。温泉县城位于河谷的南岸,海拔1300米,这一段河谷宽度在300米左右,多数河段密布山杨林和沙棘林。河谷的北面是阿拉套山,南面是别珍套山,县城附近山谷宽度在15公里左右,观察区海拔1100-1300米。这一段阿拉套山上缺乏乔木,别珍套山山顶有少量针叶林,河谷到山前地带是农田,防护林是新疆杨,只有少量沙枣树,鸟类主要以沙棘和谷物为食,大群小鸟集中在乡镇附近的面粉厂和油脂厂觅食。
今年温泉气候异常寒冷,三月初低温还在—22°,1月最低温在—33°,和下游地处准格尔盆地西缘的的博乐市不相上下(由于较高海拔的逆温层效应,通常温泉县城冬季的气温要比88公里外的博乐高3-5°,但这个冬季两者的温差不明显)。河谷河谷积雪较历年偏厚,达15-25厘米。
