ʻO ka bittern nui kahi manu ia no ka ʻohana heron (Ardeidae) a me ka ʻoka stork (Сiconiifоrmes). Ua loaʻa kēia inoa kumu e ka manu ma muli o kona leo nui nui, a ua kiʻi ʻia hoʻi mai nā huaʻōlelo pili "auwe" a i ʻole "aoa."
Ka wehewehe o ka ʻawaʻawa nui
ʻOi aku ka nui i ka nui, kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa loa, a me ke kala kumu o ka plumage, ʻokoʻa loa ka ʻawaʻawa nui mai nā mea ʻē aʻe ʻē aʻe, pili a ʻano like paha i nā ʻano kūkulu, i ʻae iā ia e hoʻokaʻawale pono i nā kūlana kūlohelohe.
ʻO ka helehelena o ka ʻawa
He mea kupaianaha loa ka bittern nui, a ʻo ke ʻano kumu.... Hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka ʻāina o ke kua e nā hulu ʻeleʻele me kahi ʻano melemele. He kala like ko ke poʻo o ka manu. ʻO ka ʻōpū momona i ke kala, me kahi lau nahele brownish.
He melemele-ʻeleʻele ka huelo me kahi lauʻeleʻele i haʻi ʻia. ʻO kēia waihoʻoluʻu o ka plumage kahi camouflage, no laila e ʻae i kahi manu nui nui e noho ʻike ʻole ʻia ma ka waena o ka ʻohe a me nā ʻohe i nā kūkaʻi a me nā kahawai.
ʻO nā kāne, ma ke ʻano he kūlana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kino ma mua o nā wahine. Hiki ke kaupaona kino o ke kāne makua mai 1.0-1.9 kg me ke kiʻekiʻe o 65-70 cm. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka ʻēheu o ke kāne e pili ana i 33-34 cm, a ʻo ka wahine - 30-31 cm. me nā ʻōuli uliuli he nui, a melemele nā maka.
Hinahina nā wāwae o ka manu ʻalu i ke kala, a me kona ʻano ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻOi aku ka māmā o nā ʻōpio i ka plumage ma mua o nā mākua. I ka wā lele, ua like ka ʻawaʻawa nui me kahi pueo.
Ka nohona a me ka lawena
No nā manu neʻe ka ʻawaʻawa nui a hoʻi mai ka hoʻoilo i ka panalāʻau o ko mākou ʻāina a i ʻole i ka wahi punana i ka wanaʻao, mai Malaki a Mei. ʻO ka nohona kūlohelohe no nā bitterns kahi waihona kūlohelohe nui me nā wai kū ʻole a i ʻole me kahi kahe liʻiliʻi, ulu nui ʻia me nā ʻohe a ʻohe.
Hoʻomaka ka neʻe ʻana o nā manu i nā kahua hoʻoilo i nā nui he nui i nā makahiki he 10 i hala ʻo Kepakemapa a i ʻole i ka mua o ʻOkakopa. Hoʻoiho kekahi poʻe i kā lākou lele a hiki i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hau mua.
Kūkulu kahi ʻawaʻawa nui i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki, mai ʻAukake a i nā lā mua o Ianuali... ʻEleu ka hana a ka manu ʻaʻan o ke ahiahi wale nō. I ka wā o ka hahai holoholona, hiki i ka ʻawaʻawa ke kū me ka neʻe ʻole no ka manawa lōʻihi, a ma hope iho ua hopu koke ʻo ia i ka mea i loaʻa. I ke ao, peʻe maikaʻi ka manu i nā nāhelehele, kahi e ʻūlū ai a kū ma ka wāwae hoʻokahi. Ke alo me kahi ʻenemi, wehe ka ʻawaʻawa nui i kona nuku ākea a ʻano, a ma hope iho ua hoʻohou hou i nā meaʻai a pau i ale iho nei.
Hoʻolohe pinepine ʻia ka uē o kahi ʻawa nui i ke kauwela a i ke kauwela holoʻokoʻa, i ka wā maʻamau ke ahiahi a i ʻole i ka pō, a i ke kakahiaka nui hoʻi. Uwē nui, lohe pono ʻia i kahi mamao o ʻekolu a ʻehā mau kilomita, hoʻokuʻu ka manu i ka wā o ka male ʻana. ʻO ka leo o kahi ʻawaʻawa swamp e like paha me ka drone o ka makani a i ʻole ke kani ʻana o kahi bipi. Aia ke walaʻau me kahi mele mālie a me ka mea nui, leo nui a, me he mea lā, kani humu. Kuhi ʻia nā kani e ka esophagus o ka manu, ke hoʻonui ʻia, hana ʻia ma ke ʻano he resonator ikaika loa.
Hoihoi ia! Ke lohe a ʻike ʻana paha i kekahi pilikia, hohola koke ka manu ʻaʻan i kona ʻāʻī i luna, hoʻāla i kona poʻo a paʻa a paʻa, a hoʻohālikelike ia i ka ʻohe maʻamau.
Wā ola
E like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ka hana, ʻaʻole pili ke ola o nā manu i kā lākou nui, no laila, he ʻawaʻawa nui i nā kūlana kūlohelohe e noho pinepine ʻole ana ma mua o ʻumikūmākolu mau makahiki.
Kahi noho a me nā wahi noho
ʻIke nui ʻia ka bittern nui ma ʻEulopa a me Sepania, a ma Pokukala hoʻi a me ke kai hema o ke Kaiwaenahonua. Noho kekahi poʻe ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ke kapakai o ke Kai ʻĀkau, ma Denmark, ma ka hema o Kuekene a ma ka ʻaoʻao hema hikina o Pinilana. Ma ʻApelika, ʻo ka ʻāpana o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka ʻawaʻawa nui e kūloko ʻia e Morocco a me Algeria, Tunisia a me ka ʻaoʻao hema o ka ʻāina nui.
Ma ʻAsia, hiki ke loaʻa kahi ʻawaʻawa nui kokoke i Tobolsk a kokoke i ke kahawai ʻo Yenisei. ʻO ka wahi noho kahi o ka ʻaoʻao hema o Palesetina, ʻAsia Minor a me ʻIrania, ka ʻaoʻao komohana komohana o Mongolia a me Transbaikalia hema. Hele pinepine ka manu ʻauana i ka hoʻoilo ma ʻApelika a me ʻAlapia, ma ka ʻākau o India, a ma Burma a me ka hema o Kina.
Ma nā panalāʻau o ko mākou ʻāina, i waena o nā biotopes pūnana nui a me nā forage o ka ʻawaʻawa kiʻekiʻe he nui ka lawe ʻia ʻana o ka peat ma nā moku ʻo Kirov a me Nizhny Novgorod, a me nā waiki ma Crimea, nā waihona sedimentation ma ka moku Ryazan, nā loko a me nā awāwa kahawai ma Yakutia.
ʻEnemi kūlohelohe
ʻO ka hōʻeha koʻikoʻi nui loa i ka heluna kanaka o nā ʻawaʻawa nui i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka ʻole ʻae ʻia, luku nui ʻia o nā wahi maoli o nā manu. ʻO ka lawe ʻana i ka hoʻoiho wai nui e nā kānaka ua lilo ia i kumu nui no ka emi maoli o ka helu o kēia manu ma ʻEulopa holoʻokoʻa.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ka pōʻino ma muli o ka hina ʻana o nā lau nahele, kahi hapa nui o nā mea kanu i kūpono no ka pūnana ʻana o nā ʻawaʻawa nui e pau. ʻ suggestlelo pū kekahi nā kānaka ʻepekema he nui nā manu lele nui, e like me ka pueo, a me ka pueo aeto, e luku paha i nā ʻawaʻawa ʻōpio.
ʻO ka ʻai a Big Bittern
ʻO ka papaʻai o ka manu e hōʻike nui ʻia e ka iʻa, e like me ka carp cross, perch a me ka pike.... Eia kekahi, hoʻohana ka ʻawaʻawa nui i nā rana, nā newts, nā ʻano meaola wai like ʻole, nā ʻenuhe a me nā ʻenuhe, nā māmele liʻiliʻi, e pili pū ana me nā rodents, no kāna meaʻai.
Hoihoi ia!I nā makahiki pōloli, luku pinepine ka ʻawaʻawa nui i nā pūnana o nā manu, a ʻai ikaika i nā keiki keiki. Hānai nā keiki hānai hou i nā ʻūhū.
Hoʻohua a me nā keiki
Hiki i kahi ʻawaʻawa nui i ka wā ʻōpio wale nō i ka makahiki o hoʻokahi... ʻAʻole kūpono kēlā manu i ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o nā pūnana kolone, no laila, hana ʻokoʻa nā kāne makua i ka moekolohe, e makaʻala i ka kokoke loa o nā manu like a me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe e pili ana.
I ke alo o nā kūlana maikaʻi loa no ka pūnana o ka bittern i ka ʻāina, hiki i kēlā me kēia hui ke hoʻonohonoho kokoke i kekahi i kekahi, ʻo kahi hopena o nā kiko āpau me kahi pae kiʻekiʻe o ka lehulehu i hoʻokumu ʻia.
Ke noho nā ʻawaʻawa swamps ma nā kino wai papau, kū nā kahua pūnana ma nā hummocks e kū ana ma luna o ka wai, i hūnā ʻia mai nā maka prying a me nā ʻenemi kūlohelohe e nā nāhelehele ʻohe, nāhelehele a me nā ʻohe.
Inā hōʻike ʻia ka ʻāpana o ka manu e nā waihona kūmole kūlohelohe, a laila aia mau nā pūnana ma luna o ka make o nā mea kanu a make paha, uhi paʻa ʻia me nā lau līlia wai. I kekahi manawa palupalu nā hale o nā pūnana, e pili ana i nā koʻokoʻo a me nā lau o nā mea kanu e ulu ana.
ʻO ka pūnana o ka ʻawaʻawa nui he ʻano poepoe ke ʻano, he anawaena o ka hapalua mika me ke kiʻekiʻe o nā ʻaoʻao i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapahā o ka mika, a ʻo kekahi o nā ʻaoʻao i manaʻo ʻia no ka puka ʻana mai o nā manu makua e pālahalaha ʻia a hehi maikaʻi ʻia paha. I ka ulu ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o nā moa, kuʻu mālie ka pūnana i loko o ka wai, no laila kūkulu ʻūlū ʻia ia e nā mākua.
ʻO nā hua i hoʻomoe ʻia e ka wahine o kahi ʻawaʻawa nui he ʻano maʻamau a he ovoid, a ʻo ke kala o ka pūpū he kala pālolo hina. Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia ka paʻa e ka wahine, akā hiki i ke kāne ke hoʻololi i kekahi manawa. ʻAʻole hana ka ʻawaʻawa nui ma mua o hoʻokahi paʻa i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia ka paʻa lima i nā hua, a ʻo ka helu o ia mau mea hiki ke pae i ʻekolu a ʻehā a ʻewalu paha.
Hoihoi ia! Hoʻokomo ʻia kēlā me kēia hua manu me kahi wā o nā lā ʻelua, no laila hānau ʻia nā moa āpau me ka ʻole, a ʻo ka ʻōpio muli loa i ka hoʻomoe hua manu ʻaʻole e ola.
Hoʻomaʻa nā moa i ʻehā mau pule ma hope o ke kau ʻana. Uhi ʻia nā pēpē me kahi downy mānoanoa a ʻulaʻula hoʻi, a ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke kala o ko lākou mau wāwae, poʻo a nuku. I ʻelua a ʻekolu paha mau pule ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, hoʻomaka ka moʻo o ka ʻawaʻawa nui e haʻalele i kā lākou pūnana. Hānai nā mākua i nā pīpī ma mua iki o hoʻokahi a me ka hapa mahina, a ua hiki i ka ʻōpio ʻelua mahina ke lawe i kā lākou iho.
Heluna a me ke kūlana o kēia ʻano
ʻO ka heluna kanaka ʻEulopa o nā ʻawaʻawa nui i koho ʻia ma 10-12 tausani pālua, a ma UK he iwakālua mau pālua. I ko mākou ʻāina, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka heluna kanaka o nā bitterns nui ma mua o 10-30 tausani pālua. I Tureke, ʻo ka heluna nui o ka manu ʻaʻan o ka manu nui ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻehā a ʻelima haneli mau pālua.
Hoihoi ia! Hiki ke lohe ʻia nā leo o ka momona i nā wahi he nui ma nā ʻāina ʻEulopa, akā ʻike wale ʻoe i kēlā manu me kou mau maka ponoʻī mai ka hale kiaʻi ʻo Siikalahti ma Parikkala. Aia ma Pinilana ke ʻano o kēia mau manu i ka manawa mai Mei a Iune.
I kēia lā ʻo Big Bittern no ka mahele o nā manu manuahi a palekana ʻia i nā ʻāina he nui... ʻO kahi laʻana, mālama ʻia ka pale o nā ʻawaʻawa ma UK he kanahā mau makahiki, ma hope o ka noho hou ʻana o nā ʻalopeke e noho ana ma East Norfolk. ʻO ke kumu o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kūlana mālama a me ka hōʻemi nui ʻana o ka heluna o nā manu e heʻe ana ka wai o nā waihona kūlohelohe i kūpono no ka pūnana ʻana, a me ka hoʻohaumia wai ikaika loa
