More than 40 Chinese mergansers have been spotted wintering in Juhe Wetland Park. This is the 10th winter in a row that the birds have chosen Yichang.
The Chinese merganser, also known as the scaly-sided merganser, has a long, wispy crest on its head and scaly black feathers on its flanks. There are less than 3,000 Chinese mergansers left on Earth. They are a protected bird in China.
In recent years, as Yichang has made the environment a priority, Juhe Wetland has become a comfortable habitat for waterfowl. The number of different migratory bird species spending winter here keeps increasing.
