Brown-eared Pheasant and His Neighbors: Notes on Mountain Birdwatching
by Mountains
About This Novel
This is a valley in the remnants of Luliang Mountain. The valley is not deep, and it is even more quiet because of the morning bells and evening drums of Xuanzhong Temple. Every early morning, the sun here is always awakened by the cooing of the brown-eared pheasant, which echoes melodiously in the quiet valley. Having a temple, having a kind heart, and persevering in feeding and treating them with kindness finally allowed us to see a harmonious scene and finally be able to get up close and personal with the Brown-eared Pheasant. There is no doubt that the Brown-eared Pheasant is the master of this valley. Every time it appears, it stirs up the valley with its high-pitched and resonant singing, like a war bugle constantly clashing between the mountain walls. Most of the time, they will choose to make a grand appearance by falling from the sky. After landing, they calmly tidied up their slightly messy feathers, raised their heads high to stare at their neighbors, and then walked elegantly to forage. Star crows, tits, great reed warblers, woodpeckers, whooper swans, owls, herons... In such valleys, there are many more creatures like the brown-eared pheasant. They coexist harmoniously, awakening the entire valley from hibernation, waiting for every spring to bloom.
