ʻO ka manu stilt he mau wāwae pink a lōʻihi, ʻokoʻa loa ia mai nā ʻano manu ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kona kino ma kahi o 40 cm ka lōʻihi, a ua uhi piha ʻia me nā hulu keʻokeʻo. ʻEleʻele nā ʻeheu i ke kala a hele i waho o ka laina huelo.
Ma ke poʻo manu kūmau he kala ʻeleʻele i ke ʻano o kahi pāpale liʻiliʻi. I nā kāne a me nā wahine, ʻokoʻa iki kēia kala i kēlā me kēia, ʻoiai i ka wahine ʻoi aku ka māmā. Lilo ka ʻēheu ma kahi o 75 knm. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne.
Nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā wahi noho
ʻOiai ma kiʻi o kahi stilt maʻalahi loa e hoʻokaʻawale mai nā manu ʻē aʻe. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, iā ia nā wāwae lōʻihi loa.
ʻAʻole i koho wale ʻia kēia hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o kona kino ma ke kuʻina, ʻoiai ka manu e hele mau i ka wai pāpaʻu i kona ola a pau, e ʻimi ana i nā meaʻai nāna me ke kōkua o kahi nuku lahilahi.
Ma ke ʻano he noho, noho ka stilt ma ka muliwai Don, ma Transbaikalia a me Primorye. Hiki ke loaʻa iā ia ma ʻApelika, New Zealand, Madagascar, Australia a me ʻAsia.
ʻO ka pinepine, hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia manu e neʻe mālie nei i nā estuaries, nā loko kai a i ʻole nā kahawai ʻokoʻa.
ʻO nā wāwae lōʻihi o ka manu kahi hoʻololi nui e ʻae iā ia e neʻe mamao mai ke kahakai e ʻimi i ka loaʻa kālā.
Hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi ka stilt e kona mau wāwae ʻākala lōʻihi.
I ka helehelena, ua like ka stilt me nā manu, no ke kaʻina o nā kuʻekuʻe wāwae. Hoʻohui ʻia, like ia me ke kikonia ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo hoʻi, ʻoi iki ka liʻiliʻi i ka nui.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ka stilt kekahi o nā ʻano manu like ʻole. Ma hope o nā mea āpau, ke loaʻa nā moa a nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, lilo lākou i mea ʻoi loa, a ʻo kēia, i ka ʻokoʻa, komo i ke kolone me nā manu ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ke ʻano a me ka nohona
He manu neʻe nā kuʻikuʻi i hoʻi i ko lākou ʻāina home a puni ʻApelila. Haʻalele mau lākou i nā kapuai i ke one, kahi e hiki ai i kekahi ke hoʻoholo maʻalahi i ko lākou alo i kahi i hāʻawi ʻia.
Nui kēlā mau kapuwai wāwae, a he ʻekolu manamana ko lākou wāwae, ʻo ka nui he 6 cm ka lōʻihi. He lōʻihi nā manamana lima, a aia kekahi membrane ma waena o nā manamana ʻekolu a me 4.
Neʻe kuʻu one i kahi ala kūikawā, e hana ana i nā ʻanuʻu nui ma kahi mamao o 25 knm. I ka manawa like, ʻaʻole lākou i hilinaʻi nui i ka wāwae, akā ma nā manamana lima, e waiho ana i nā meheu ma hope.
Nui loa ka leo o ko lākou leo i ke ʻano o "kick-kick-kick". Ke neʻe nei i kahakai, hoʻomāinoino mau lākou i nā hulu lele lōʻihi, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo koke i ko lākou helehelena.
E hoʻolohe i ka leo o ka stilt
Ke alakaʻi nei kēia mau manu i kahi nohona diurnal, kahi o ka hapa nui o ka manawa aia lākou i kahi kokoke i ka wai. Hoʻohui, hiki iā lākou ke ʻauʻau maikaʻi (ʻoi aku i nā moa) a luʻu pū kekahi.
Mea ʻai
Nui ka poʻe hoihoi i ka nīnau he aha ka ʻai a ka stilt? ʻIke ʻia he ʻano ʻē kā lākou meaʻai. I ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai, lūlū lākou i ke poʻo i lalo loa o ka wai i ʻike wale ʻia ko lākou huelo ma luna.
Ke hoʻohana nei i ko lākou nuku, hoʻāʻo lākou e loaʻa nā huna wai, nā ʻokoke. Ma ka honua, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e nānā i ka meaʻai, no ka mea, pili nā mea hana āpau me ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai i ka wai.
ʻO kahi hoʻohui nui i ka hānai ʻana i ka stilt he mau wāwae lōʻihi ia, me ke kōkua e hiki ai iā ia ke kiʻi maʻalahi i nā kolo mai kahi hohonu loa, kahi hiki ʻole i nā manu ʻē aʻe ke kiʻi iā ia.
Makemake pinepine lākou e pāʻina ma kekahi mau mea kanu, nā ʻūlū, nā nalo ʻauʻau a me nā ʻōpelu pū kekahi. Ma ka ʻāina, hiki iā lākou ke ʻai pū, akā i kekahi manawa pilikia loa ka hana ʻana i kēia, ma muli o ke kūlou mau ʻana i kou mau kuli.
Inā ʻoe e nīnau, he aha ke ʻano o ka nuku stilt, a laila hiki iā mākou ke pane palekana i kēlā ma nā tweezers maʻamau, kahi mea maʻalahi e hopu i nā mea kolo liʻiliʻi i ka wai a ma luna o kona ʻili.
ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o ka stilt
ʻAʻole makemake kēia ʻano manu i ka mehameha. I ka wā o ka hana hou kope ʻana, hana lākou i nā kolone liʻiliʻi, kahi e hiki ai i kekahi mau ʻumi pālua.
Kākaʻikahi loa ka pūnana lōkahi. Kū pinepine ka pūnana ʻana me nā ʻano manu ʻē aʻe. Noho maluhia nā hoanoho me ka maluhia, akā ke ala mai nā ʻenemi, komo nā manu āpau i ka pale ʻana i ko lākou kolone. Hoʻonoho ʻia nā pūnana ponoʻī ma kahi o ka wai, a pili pū me nā manu ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻokomo ka Sandpiper i nā lālā, ke koena o nā mea kanu like ʻole a paʻa i ka lua. Inā, no kekahi kumu, ua haki a paʻa paha ka paʻa mua i ka wai, pinepine lākou i ka lua. Eia naʻe, ʻuʻuku ka kūleʻa holoʻokoʻa o kā lākou hana hou ʻana a lilo i 15 a 45%.
Hoʻohui ʻia nā kuʻina ma kahi o ʻApelila a Mei paha. ʻOi aku ka hana a nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne. Awelika, manu kuʻi manu ʻole waiho i ʻehā mau hua pākahi, e ana ana i 30-40 mm.
Ma kahi o ka hopena o ke kauwela a i ke kauwela hoʻomaka paha ka wahine e hoʻomoe i kāna mau hua, a ma hope e noho ʻo ia ma kahi o ʻehā mau pule. Ma hope wale o ka hatch ʻana o nā moa mai nā hua manu a hoʻomaka e ola i ko lākou ola iho. Pale ʻia ka pua e nā mākua ʻelua i ka manawa like.
Noho mālie nā pule mua o ke ola o nā moa. I loko o kēia wā, pono lākou e ʻai maikaʻi no ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana o kā lākou hulu.
Ma kahi kokoke i ka mahina hoʻomaka lākou e aʻo e lele a kūʻokoʻa i nā mea āpau, keu hoʻi i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai. Ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana, he kala hulu ʻeleʻele ko nā manu ʻōpio, a he loli ma hope.
Hoʻolālā koke lākou a hiki i kahi kaupaona o 220 grama. Ua makua kēia mau manu i ka makahiki ʻelua, akā he ʻumikūmālua makahiki ko lākou ola ʻana.
He makua mālama nui ʻo Waders. Inā kokoke i kahi pōpilikia i ka pūnana, hemo koke ka sandpiper a hoʻāʻo e hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo o ka mea komo hewa me kāna mau walaʻau ʻana, e lawe aku ana i ka ʻenemi. Mākaukau lākou e hōʻike iā lākou iho i ka makaʻu, ʻoiai e pale ana i kā lākou mau moa.
I kēia mau lā, ua hōʻemi nui ʻia ka nui o nā stilts, ma muli o ka hoʻomohala ʻia ʻana o nā panalāʻau hou e ka poʻe a me ka hoʻomaloʻo ʻana o nā waihona wai, kahi e ʻimi ai ka mea loko one i meaʻai nāna iho.
Pēlā pinepine e luku ʻia kā lākou paʻa no nā hua no nā kumu like ʻole. A he nui nā mea e make ma muli o ke kāʻili ʻana o ka poʻe ʻālualu i kī iā lākou i ka wā o nā lele.
I kēia manawa ua helu ʻia ka stilt i loko o ka Red Book ma ke ʻano he manu laha ʻole, a koe wale nō kekahi i ka honua.
