Seeing Kazuto Yuyama taking out his cell phone, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but blush. Kazuto Yuyama was observing wild birds with great interest, but she wanted to borrow his telescope.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. He didn't find it strange that Sakurajima Mai didn't rent a telescope. After all, there was no trace of Sakurajima Mai in the team.
But since the other party has a mobile phone, wouldn’t it be better to just use the phone to observe the wild birds?
"We can use the magnification of the camera on our phone to observe, right?" Yushan Kazuto replied.
Looking at the message sent by Yushan Kazuto, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but blink. She had naturally tried this method before.
It’s just that her phone was bought a few years ago. The selfie effect is good, but the rear camera is not that good.
Mai Sakurajima originally wanted to take the opportunity to back down, but she retreated halfway through typing.
"I tried it, but the image wasn't very clear."
"Then you take it and I'll use my phone." Yushan Heren replied with a blink.
Looking at the message sent by Yushan Kazuto, Sakurajima Mai felt even more guilty.
Yushan Kazuto didn't think it was a big deal, after all, his phone camera was excellent and supported 10x
Optical zoom, and 100x digital zoom.
The image on the mobile phone screen is even clearer than what is observed through binoculars.
Just because he rented a telescope, Yushan Kazuto wanted to make the best use of it.
"You should be able to see me now, right?" After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren asked.
"I can see it." Sakurajima Mai blinked slightly, not quite understanding why Yushan Kazuto suddenly changed the subject, but still replied.
"I'll hang the telescope on a tree branch. You can use it later and put it back when you're done." Yushan Heren said.
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but glance at Kazuto Yuyama with an unnatural expression. She didn't expect that Kazuto Yuyama just thought of a way to hand the telescope to her mobile phone.
After looking around, Yushan Kazuto found a suitable branch, walked over, hung the telescope on it, and then returned to Doma Yui and Izumi Sagiri.
"Brother Kazuto, why did you put the telescope aside?" Izumi Sagiri noticed Kazuto Yuyama's actions and asked.
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but put down her binoculars and stared at Yushan Kazuto with some suspicion.
"I'm going to take some pictures of wild birds, but it's a little difficult to operate a telescope." Yushan Heren took out his cell phone and said.
Chapter 2005 Black Bear and Wild Boar
The guide originally planned to rest and stay on the river bank for about ten minutes, but unexpectedly he discovered several rare birds and couldn't help but stay there for a while longer.
However, if the time was too long, it would affect the duration of the entire activity, so after staying for more than 20 minutes, the guide had to announce that it was time to move on.
Not far ahead, I saw a birch tree about 20 centimeters thick, covered with many hideous scars.
"Another birch tree has fallen into the clutches of the black bear." Looking at the birch tree in front of him, the guide couldn't help but speak.
"Are these claw marks left by a black bear?" a tourist asked.
"Yes, but there were no traces of this when I came here a few days ago," said the guide.
"But don't worry, the black bear has plenty of food in the Wild Bird Forest and won't risk attacking humans."
After hearing what the guide said, everyone, who originally were not very worried, felt a tightness in their hearts.
"It seems that your group of tourists is quite lucky today. You have seen many rare birds and fresh black bear claw marks."
Seeing that everyone was a little nervous, the guide couldn't help but comfort them.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, some of them were confused.
It is indeed good luck to be able to see rare birds, but is it also good luck to see fresh paw prints of a black bear?
Doesn’t this mean that the black bear is active nearby?
Looking at the looks of the crowd, the guide couldn't help but blink slightly.
For those who do ecological research like these, it is indeed very lucky to see such a scene.
However, it seems that the tourists' understanding of this matter is somewhat different from mine.
Continuing forward, we saw some trees that had been destroyed by black bears again.
However, these are relatively old claw marks, the earliest of which was more than three months ago. Compared with the previous fresh claw marks, the difference is quite big.
We also found black bear feces on the road, and a little bird was feasting on it, which made the tourists blink slightly. How could it have the habit of eating feces when it looks so cute?
"This is a Japanese white-eye, a bird belonging to the genus White-eye in the family Mylidae of the order Passeriformes. Because it lacks some trace elements, it eats some feces," the guide introduced.
In fact, many birds will eat their own feces due to the lack of trace elements, but the white-eye is a unique one among them. In addition to its own feces, it also eats the feces of other animals.
But this is normal. There must be some food left in the black bear's feces that the black bear has not completely digested.
For a small bird like the white-eye, finding a pile of black bear feces is actually a big meal that can last for several days.
If there is no sunbird, the guide will usually turn over the black bear's feces and explain the black bear's food map to everyone.
However, since there was a white-eye bird there, the guide didn't want to disturb it from feasting, so after sharing some knowledge, he led the team deeper.
Continuing forward, there is a pine forest. As soon as we enter, we see a squirrel climbing a tree.
The flying squirrels that are promoted actually live in pine forests.
However, the brochure does not tell tourists that flying squirrels are nocturnal creatures and can usually only be seen at night.
The flying squirrels seen during the day all have reversed sleep and rest schedules, just like the author, who watches football in the middle of the night and gets up in the afternoon.
There were scars on the trees in the pine forest, too, but they were not from the black bear's claws.
"See that pine tree? A lot of book covers have fallen off. That's the tree that wild boars often use to scratch themselves."
"When the bark of the pine tree is worn, pine resin will drip out. When it sticks to the wild boar's body, it will not only make the bristles smoother, but also make the wild boar's skin harder, just like wearing a thick layer of armor."
"This way, they can avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, lice and parasites, so this pine forest is an area where wild boars often appear."
People's reaction to the wild boar was even greater than that to the black bear.
The main reason is that wild boars look ferocious, and the thought of wild boars makes people feel dirty.
Of course, in reality, it is indeed dirty. The black bear at least goes to the river to swim, catch some fish, and take a bath. The wild boar is much dirtier and walks directly in the mud puddles!
The mud and sand will be absorbed into the wild boar's bristles and form a layer of armor for the wild boar.
Why do wild boars have thick skin? With so many layers of buffs stacked on top of each other, even humans would become thick-skinned!
There is a clear distinction between wild boars and black bears. After all, the two sides generally don't fight, and a black bear may not be able to beat a wild boar.
The Japanese black bear is not as big as the North American brown bear. Wouldn't it be humiliating for itself to fight with a wild boar?
After a lot of scratching, not even the skin was broken. If the other party pushes back, the internal organs might be injured.
It has to be said that most wild animals live cautiously.
Unless forced by hunger, people generally won't do risky things.
In addition to squirrels, flying squirrels and wild boars, the most common species in the pine forest are various types of longicorn beetles.
Pine caterpillar is the most famous insect in pine forests.
If you accidentally get a pine caterpillar on your body, it would be fun. Itching and erythema are mild symptoms. In serious cases, you may also have a fever or coma.
At this time, the gauze cover can be reflected.
The second function of the enclosed place is to prevent pine caterpillars from falling.
Although it is impossible to provide complete protection, and you would have to wear protective clothing to enter the pine forest, it can still play a certain role.
For pine forests, the harm caused by pine caterpillars is still quite large. Picchio organizes pest control activities every year, but the pine caterpillars will not be completely eradicated.
After all, pine caterpillars are also part of the food chain in the Wild Bird Forest. They are food for many birds and carnivorous insects. If they are all killed, it will affect the ecology of the entire Wild Bird Forest.
Secondly, as long as the killing action is taken, a certain amount of chemical residues will inevitably appear. If excessive amount is used at one time, it may lead to the degradation of the ecological environment.
After walking through the pine forest with trepidation, everyone couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Although I didn’t see any flying squirrels, at least I didn’t get hit by any pine caterpillars!
Continue walking for a while and you will see a pond. Usually, many animals come to the pond to drink water. But today, there is only a huge creature next to the pond.
"Wild boar!" a tourist said in surprise!
I didn't see any wild boars in the pine forest, but unexpectedly I saw them when I walked out of the forest.
Moreover, the wild boar in front of him was obviously not small in size. Judging by the naked eye alone, it should weigh more than 150 kilograms!
Chapter 2006: Wild Bird Forest Adventure
When everyone saw the wild boar, the wild boar also noticed everyone and became nervous.
In fact, wild boars are relatively timid. Although there are records of them attacking humans from time to time, the actual reason is that they are overly nervous and have to attack to give themselves courage.
Wild boars will only actively attack humans when they are in estrus and are affected by hormones, or when the sows are carrying their piglets.
After seeing that no one moved, the wild boar lowered its head again and drank water while looking at everyone.
On the other side, the guide was also introducing the habits of wild boars to everyone.
"It's not the estrus season for wild boars, and this wild boar doesn't have any cubs. As long as we stay quiet and don't disturb it, it won't attack us."
Even so, the guide was actually a little nervous, and even lowered his voice.
Everyone's perception was quite sharp, and when they realized that the guides were feeling guilty, they couldn't help but become even more nervous.
Fortunately, after drinking the water, the wild boar raised its butt and ran towards the forest. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed the guide to the pond.
"This is the pond where the small animals usually like to drink water, but there was a wild boar here just now, so the small animals are a little afraid to approach the pond."
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. Just now, his group of people didn't dare to approach the pond. Isn't this no different from small animals?
Walking to the place where the wild boar was drinking water and looking at some black particles on the ground, everyone couldn't help but blink slightly.
"This is wild boar feces. Why is this wild boar going to the toilet near a water source? It's really uncivilized!" The guide seemed to want to make some humorous remarks to ease the atmosphere a little, but everyone was just chilled by his joke.
In fact, these feces also indirectly illustrate the wild boar's nervousness. After all, they are fresh. If you touch them with your hand, you may still feel some heat.
*&^Deduction: $#^You*0 stay,∥Wine,∠Ⅴ∷Just} disperse,⌒∽Seven≥
Unless they are in extremely stressful situations, wild boars will not defecate in water sources.
After looking around and discovering some traces left by small animals, the "Wild Bird Forest Natural Ecology Observation Tour" activity came to an end.
On the way back, everyone walked faster. After all, they found fresh black bear paw prints and saw wild boars drinking water. Everyone was inevitably a little nervous and just wanted to leave the Wild Bird Forest as soon as possible.
With the help of these episodes, this "Wild Bird Forest Natural Ecology Observation Tour" has turned into a "Wild Bird Forest Adventure".
I don't know how other people feel, but for Yushan Kazuto, he would not be willing to enter the Wild Bird Forest alone without any equipment.
Of course, if Yushan and others were allowed to bring their equipment at will, the tranquility of the Wild Bird Forest would be disrupted.
Lunch was eaten at the village canteen, which is located near the town of Elm Street and along the river.
The Villagers' Dining Hall is the largest restaurant in the entire Hoshino Resort, offering a wide variety of rich Japanese local cuisine.
It was rare that Sagiri Izumi did not ask to return to the room to eat. Everyone sat near the river bank, enjoying lunch while watching the gurgling water.
"How do you feel about the food in the villagers' cafeteria compared to the food in the usual inns?" asked Kazuto Hayama as he looked at Mai Doma and Sagiri Izumi, who were tasting the juicy Shinshu beef.
"They are all delicious!" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but say.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly. People like Domama have a wooden tongue, and everything they eat tastes delicious.
"They each have their merits," Izumi Sagiri said softly, "The condiments in the village cafeteria are richer."
Yushan Kazuto smiled and said, "Each has its merits. Where did you learn this idiom from, Sagiri?"
Izumi Sagiri couldn't help but blush and lowered her head: "I saw it in the comments."
Previously, when Sagiri Izumi saw someone commenting in detail on the differences between her work and her previous works, she clicked in to take a look.
The entire comment was very long, which made Izumi Sagiri feel a little dizzy, but it made her remember the idiom "each has its own merits".
"Is that so?" Yushan Kazuto smiled. "The idiom 'each has its merits' is well used. The advantage of the village canteen is its variety, while the advantage of the hotel's Chinese restaurant is its quality."
Even if it is the same dish, the quality of the one eaten in Hoshinoya is slightly higher than that in the village cafeteria.
This is mainly the difference in raw materials. The raw materials used by Hoshinoya are definitely better than those used in the villagers' canteen.
After all, Hoshinoya serves about a hundred high-end customers, while the Village Canteen serves tourists from the entire Hoshino Resort.
