冬天喜欢交际的游牧民族(A sociable nomad in winter)
波西米亚蜡翼鸟经常成群出现,是群居的鸣禽,它们成群结队地觅食,有时还吵闹。在加拿大的育空地区、不列颠哥伦比亚省和阿尔伯塔省,全年都有一定数量的人。虽然它们喜欢北方森林和开阔林地,但如果有大量的果树,也可以在城镇中广泛发现。波西米亚蜡翅经常在脆弱的树枝上保持平衡,咀嚼浆果,捕食昆虫,目的是在空中捕捉昆虫。如果你想在附近发现一只,注意它们五颜六色的翅膀,留心它们高音的颤音。
原文:
Often spotted in flocks, Bohemian waxwings are social songbirds that forage for food in large and sometimes noisy groups. Scattered across Canada, there are certain populations that can be found in Yukon, British Columbia, and Alberta all-year-round. While they prefer boreal forests and open woodlands, they can also be widely found in towns, provided there are abundant fruit trees. Bohemian waxwings often balance themselves on flimsy branches to munch on berries and prey on insects with the intent of catching them mid-air. If you are looking to spot one in your vicinity, watch out for their colourful wings and keep an ear out for their high-pitched trills.
