Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi ʻāpana kahawai
ʻO ke ana o ka ʻāpala ʻeleʻele ma kahi o 46 knm. Kaupaona: 315 a 440 g.
ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ke kala o ka plumage ma o ka moekolohe wale nō, akā kaukaʻi ʻia hoʻi i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻāina. ʻEono mau ʻāpana o ka ʻūlū muliwai.
Ua onionio ke kāne makua i nā plumage ʻeleʻele a me keʻokeʻo me kahi hoʻonohonoho paʻakikī o nā laina lauana.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka ʻāʻī, hoʻopili kahi ʻāpana ʻeleʻele i ka laina ʻeleʻele ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā maka. Keokeo ke koena o ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī.
ʻO ka umauma a me nā ʻaoʻao he mau lau ʻeleʻele o ka ʻeleʻele, brownish-brown me nā interlayers ʻeleʻele, akā aia kekahi mau ʻano waena o ke kala i waena o kēia mau kani maʻamau.

Kahi noho pato ʻo Brook
Noho ka ʻūlū kahawai i nā wahi pōhaku o ka Andes, kahi e kuapo ai nā kahawai a me nā wailele me nā wahi o ka wai mālie. Aia kēia mau wahi ma waena o 1,500 a me 3,500 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai, akā kokoke i ke kai ma Kili a i 4,500 mau mika ma Bolivia.
Ua pālahalaha aku ʻo Duck Brook
Hoʻolahalaha nui ʻia ʻo Brook duck ma aneane nā kaulahao Andes, Merida a me Techira ma Venezuela. Hele ka wahi ma Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, komohana hou mai Argentina a me Chile a Tierra del Fuego. ʻO nā manu, i loaʻa kiʻekiʻe ma nā mauna, iho i lalo i nā awāwa i ka hoʻoilo, kākaʻikahi iki ma lalo o 1000 mau mika, koe wale nō ʻo Chile. Ma Colombia, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia lākou ma nā kiʻekiʻe a i 300 mau mika.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka lawena o ka duck brook
Noho pālua ʻo Brook duck a ʻohana paha e noho ma nā kahawai. Kū pinepine lākou ma nā pōhaku ma ke kapa a ma nā pōhaku ma waenakonu o kahi kahawai. ʻAʻau lākou i nā kahawai gusty, e hōʻalo mākaukau ana i nā ālaina, a hūnā pinepine loa ʻia ke kino a me ka huelo i ka wai a ʻo ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī wale nō ke waiho ma luna.
Neʻe wikiwiki lākou i lalo o ka wailele a i ʻole kokoke loa, nānā ʻole i ke kahawai hāneʻe o ka wai. Ma hope o ka ʻauʻau ʻana, piʻi nā ʻāpā kahawai i nā pōhaku e hoʻomaha ai. Luku nā manu hoʻopilikia a ʻauʻau ma lalo o ka wai a lele haʻahaʻa paha i luna o ka wai.
He ʻauʻauʻau maikaʻi ʻo Brook duck a me nā poʻe ʻelua i loaʻa ka meaʻai e ka ʻauʻau ʻana a hōʻike manawa wale i ka lele lele.
Lele kēia mau ʻāʻī i kahi mamao mai hoʻokahi a i mau mau mika ma luna o ka ʻili o ka muliwai i mea e hele ai mai kahi ʻāpana o ka wai i kekahi. ʻAʻau lākou me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ko lākou mau wāwae nui a ikaika a kunou i ko lākou mau poʻo i ka wā e ʻauʻau ana. ʻAe ko lākou mau kino liʻiliʻi iā lākou e hele koke ma waena o nā kahawai. Kūpono ko lākou mau māiʻuo lōʻihi a ikaika hoʻi no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā pōhaku pahee. Hoʻohana ʻia nā huelo ikaika ma ke ʻano he hoe waʻa no ka ʻauʻau ʻana a me ka luʻu ʻana, a no ke kaulike ʻana i nā pōhaku ʻino a paheʻe i waenakonu o kahi muliwai.
He manu akahele ʻo Brook duck a inā he makaʻu lākou e hoʻonuʻu lākou i ka hapa nui o ko lākou mau kino i ka wai e ʻike ʻole ai. Mālama mau nā Duck i ko lākou hulu e mālama i ko lākou ʻano wai ʻole.
ʻO ka lele o nā ʻāpana kahawai he mana, wikiwiki, a kū i kahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. Hana nā manu i nā pā liʻiliʻi o ko lākou mau ʻeheu, a hāhai i ke ala wili. Kūkulu nā kāne a me nā wahine i kahi ʻōwahi hou. I ka lele ʻana, hoʻopuka ke kāne i kahi uē ikaika, i hana hou ʻia a lohe pono ʻia, ʻoiai ke kani o ka wai. ʻOi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka leo o ka wahine a haʻahaʻa hoʻi.
ʻAi hāpala ʻo Brook
ʻIke ʻo Duck i ka luʻu wiwo ʻole i nā meaʻai i loko o nā kahe wikiwiki a me nā kahawai. Nānā lākou i nā larva insect, molluscs a me nā invertebrates ʻē aʻe. Me ke kōkua o kahi nuku lahilahi a me ka lou i ka hopena, huki ikaika nā pīpī i kā lākou mea pio ma waena o nā pōhaku. I ka lawaiʻa ʻana, hoʻohana lākou i ko lākou mau ʻano e hoʻolilo i kēia mau manu i mea ʻauʻau maikaʻi loa: hoʻololi ʻia nā wāwae ākea loa no ka ʻau ʻana a me ka luʻu ʻana. ʻO ke kino lohi kahi kahawai a me kahi huelo paʻa lōʻihi e lawelawe ana ma ke ʻano he hoeuli. No ka loaʻa ʻana o ka meaʻai, hoʻomoe ka Duck i nā poʻo a me nā ʻāʻī ma lalo o ka wai, a i kekahi manawa aneane ko lākou kino holoʻokoʻa.
ʻO ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka pūnana ʻana o ka ʻāne kahawai
Hoʻokumu ʻia nā paʻa paʻa a paʻa paʻa i nā ʻāpā kahawai. He loli nui nā manawa hānau, hāʻawi ʻia i nā ʻokoʻa nui i ka longitude ma waena o nā ʻāpana ʻokoʻa. I ka māhele equatorial, lōʻihi loa ka manawa pūnana, mai Iulai a Nowemapa, ma muli o ke kūpaʻa a i ʻole nā fluctuations liʻiliʻi i ka mahana. Ma Peru, hana lūlū i ka wā maloʻo, i Iulai a ʻAukake, ʻoiai ma Chile, kahi i pūnana ai nā ʻāpō i nā wahi haʻahaʻa, i Nowemapa. ʻO ka panalāʻau o nā manu manu ʻelua e uhi i kahi ma kahi o kahi kilomita ma ka muliwai.
Kūkulu ka wahine i kahi pūnana o ka mauʻu maloʻo, kahi e hūnā ma lalo o ka panakō nui, i nā māwae ma waena o nā pōhaku, ma lalo o nā aʻa a i loko o kahi lua, i ka pūnana o kingfisher kahiko a i ʻole nā lau nahele nui.
Aia he 3 a 4 mau hua i loko o ka puʻupuʻu. ʻO nā manawa hoʻopili, 43 a 44 paha mau lā, lōʻihi loa no ka anatidae. Mai ka manawa o ka helehelena, keʻokeʻo - ʻeleʻele ducklings ʻike pehea e ʻauʻau ai, a holo wiwo ʻole i loko o ka wai, i nā wahi weliweli ma ka muliwai e hali ka pīpī i nā pua ma kona kua. Hana lākou no ka nele o ka ʻike me ka ikaika nui a hōʻike i ka mākaukau kiʻekiʻe e piʻi i nā pōhaku.
Ke kūʻokoʻa nā ʻalalā ʻōpio, hoʻomaka lākou e nānā i nā ʻāina hou, kahi e noho ai lākou i kahi paʻa a noho ma laila i ko lākou ola āpau.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka ʻāpā kahawai
He mau kānaka kūpaʻa ʻo Brook duck a, ma ke ʻano he kūlana, noho i nā wahi nui o nā ʻāina hiki ʻole ke hele, a he pale kūlohelohe ia. Eia nō naʻe, maʻalahi kēia mau manu i nā loli noho e like me ka pesticide haumia o ka wahi, ke kūkulu ʻana i nā wai wai, a me ka hoʻoulu ʻana o nā ʻano trout i hoʻokūkū ʻia no ka meaʻai. I kekahi mau wahi, ua hoʻopau ʻia nā duck brook e nā kānaka.
