Breeding ecology and ornamental management of Eurasian Spoonbill(Platalea leucorodia)in Momoge wetland
The balance between conservation and rational use helps to promote the comprehensive functions of wetland ecosystems,such as conservation,scientific research,education,and recreation.Understanding the breeding ecology of wetland waterbirds is a prerequisite for scientific conservation,and appropriately developing tourism is the main way to rationalize the use of wetlands and an important means to achieve"rural revitalization".We observed the breeding ecology of Eurasian Spoonbills(Platalea leucorodia)in Momog Wetland to provide a scientific basis for carrying out the synergistic development of waterbird conservation and ornamental management in the wetland.The results of this study showed that the Eurasian Spoonbills arrived at Momoge in early April and nested in a reed pond with perennial water,and started to lay eggs in mid-April.Chicks begin to emerge in mid to late May,and their growth and development follow a logistic Stiff growth model.The White Spoonbill is suitable as a birdwatching object,and the White Crane Lake and surrounding villages and towns in the Momog wetland area have unique viewing conditions.It is practical to carry out bird watching activities represented by waterbirds such as the White-spoonbill to drive the development of the local eco-tourism economy.
