Field investigation is scientific research in the field, mainly to obtain field data, which is the premise of our later indoor analysis and research. Views on wilderness, desolation, wilderness; From a literary point of view, beautiful and handsome mountains and rivers; Essentially, it is in nature. How wild is it? As far as we are concerned, we can see from our equipment: tents and sleeping bags. Because the baby we are looking for is very high above sea level, let's not talk about how high it is in case it is said to be too high. Haha, I'll really report it when it's really high. It is said that this high place is sparsely populated, so we have to live in tents. Ah ~ ~ I hope we can feel very happy when we live in a tent, at least not on the road.
As for scientific research, because our major is called wild animal protection, that is, the protection and utilization of wild animals, our team is doing bird ecological research, and this part I am doing is the macro-ecological research of pheasants and snow quails (chickens are birds, don't let go ~ ~). More specifically, it is the research on habitat selection and model-based distribution prediction of snow quail, which mainly solves the problems of "where there is" and "where there is". At this point, it is obvious that the baby we are looking for is snow quail. After watching the computer for two years, the subjects can be familiar with every feature of its body, but they have never seen the real thing. Seeing it with your own eyes is really special, and you can even imagine what posture and expression you should take with it when you grab it. Ha ha ha ha (why should we catch it? Let's not catch it! Wild! Health! Move it. Things! )。 Because of it, I have been tortured by various problems thousands of times, but I still want to see it. Introduce this guy briefly. His English name is Snow Partridge. Professionally pay attention to the scientific name, that is, the Latin name Lerwa lerwa (must be written in italics). When you see the word snow, you should think of why we go to high altitude areas. Snow quail is a unique bird in China, which is distributed near the snow line and above the forest line on the southeast edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Because of its wide distribution, it is difficult to investigate and study it, so the research on snow quail is relatively lacking so far. (Special PS: You can contact us if you see it in the wild or relevant information, crab crab! )。
Only a clear understanding of a species can give it a good protection, which is like liking and loving a person and getting to know TA deeply. Although the snow quail is not an endangered species, the extinction of any species begins from the beginning, so we investigate its distribution, understand its habits and so on are all filling a gap in the identity of this species.
This field trip is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. I have always felt that graduate life is not perfect without field trips. But some people told me that the field is very hard, especially for girls, and it is inconvenient. This injection has been given for a long time or many times, and even the day after tomorrow we will leave. Today, when we were sorting out the equipment, the teacher was still making psychological preparations for us. "The difficult journey is about to begin." I was ready for this. When I received the sleeping bag he bought for us, the teacher said, "I have treated you as a boy ~" Well, from that moment on, I felt like Brother Yao! Ha ha ha ~ ~ So, I don't talk like a little girl, Ho Ha Ha! This is my long-awaited field, and it's really about to start! Where there is pain, there is trouble. I'm still looking forward to it, looking forward to it. ...
Before going out to work, oh, yes, our outdoor work is also called outdoor work, which is a relative concept. Usually, indoor work is indoor work. You should try your best to be fully prepared before going out to work. One includes professional preparation and the other is life preparation.
Professional preparation is what to do, where to do it, what is the purpose, the expected effect and so on. This time, I plan to bring a satellite tracker to the snow quail, which is very expensive in scientific research. It's such a little thing. I took it from my teacher, more than 5 thousand yuan. This teacher is an expert in this field. We don't have to worry about what the teacher may have at hand, including how to get there and buy sleeping bags and tents online. I only take delivery, but I was mainly a senior running errands.
Life preparation, shelter, food, clothing, anti-mosquito, rain and sun protection, preparation of drugs for possible symptoms, etc., all have big bags and small bags. I really don't know how to eat the specific itinerary and food so far. Look forward to it I have also read a few posts about survival in the wild, and I am still at ease with experienced teachers. A girl in Yunnan said there was a bear in Yunnan, and she was afraid. She won't be hugged by a bear, will she? Gaga ω ω ~ ~
The bed that will accompany me for more than 20 days, the down sleeping bag that the teacher bought together, drilled in Beijing, is warm (* Ω Ω *) ~ Today, the teacher said that if there is a guide to go up the mountain, you may need to sleep in a tent with a man. Call (┯)-_ ||. ┯. . Pray silently in my heart, please God, girl, I will kowtow first \ (o)/.
Vulnerability and strength may be beyond imagination, so be prepared ~
The teacher said that things should be brought as little as possible, and if you bring practical things, you don't need to bring cosmetics. Well, I'm very open-minded. I didn't bring it, haha ~
In the morning, I carry my bag from the dormitory to the teacher's office. This is the height of more than 80 cm. When I stand up straight and feel the breeze, I can try backflip. Ha ha ha ha ~ ~ With my brother around, the teacher suggested changing my brother's smaller schoolbag. Well, the suitcase, which accompanied me on my long trip, was brought again, as well as a computer, some lightweight moisture-proof mats and sampling tubes for field use.
We're going to collect blood samples in the wild. I'm going to give up the needles and test tubes we brought. Ho ho! At that time, I pricked myself in physiology class, but my hands were quick. Don't be too afraid of the baby snow quail. Please bear with me.
Because our investigation point is in the mountains near Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan, I still dream of staying in those beautiful places, even if it is very short. I have been used to sending postcards to friends in a place for many years. Although some didn't receive it, I still like this mood. A piece of paper has been run over by a postmark, which may be the best witness to us. I really hope that with the maturity, this seemingly naive habit can have the courage to persist for a few more years, from high school to college, now, until one day in the future. I really hope that the years will not be defeated. Ha ha ha ha ~ ~ so I brought some stamps left by my senior brother last year, because others left one for me each.
I am looking forward to it. In addition to this kind of professional experience, I am also looking forward to meeting my most familiar but unfamiliar research object, getting close to the different natural scenery again, and challenging my limits under what others call difficulties and hardships. I want to challenge myself again, which is different.
Finally, I hope I won't get sunburned and can't find my nostrils when I come back. I hope that even if my teeth are tanned, you will treat me gently hahaha ~ ~
