澄靜齋

星期日不用去送貨，雖然因為前一晚有送貨，造成早上很晚起床，但還是決定去山裡走走。
沿著林道步行往上，在一往右的迴轉彎，右邊的草叢突然衝出幾隻鳥，因為我的驚擾，以迅雷不及掩耳之勢撞進左邊的林子，乍看一下，猜想也許是白腰文鳥吧？因為從後面看牠展翅，後腰很白，而且又躲在草叢。可是有一隻翅膀好橘，從沒看過顏色這麼亮的白腰文鳥，嗯～　找出來幫牠拍張照吧！在原地靜靜地等候，好在有幾隻鳥在樹上跳動的樣子，Lucky! 好在有一隻沒繼續往林子深處鑽，而另一隻布隻是不是看到同伴好好得沒事，於是漸漸安心地往突出的樹枝移動移動到旁邊。趕緊幫牠們拍了幾張，咦？這兩隻長得不一樣？其實花紋還是類似的，但顏色一身一淺，亞成鳥？雌雄二型性！而且牠們其實跟白腰文鳥一點也不像，這時「花雀」？！二字閃過腦海，但覺得不會這麼巧吧？而且這樣的場景完全沒有看到稀有鳥的fu~。而且頭形看起來還有點兒像是鵐呢！
回家後比對照片，竟然就是花雀！我之前工作的地方就有同事看到過花雀，我就滿希望有一天能遇上，結果沒在之前工作的地方看到，反而回家之後沒多久，在家附近（雖說是附近，騎機車也是要一個多小時。）的低海拔山區反而第一次見到。果然，要認識大自然還是要花時間跟它多培養感請，花的時間越多，它願意向我們展露的面向也會漸漸豐富起來。
 

前一晚剛回到桃園，在車站就跳上老爸的貨車跟去送貨，凌晨四點左右才睡，早上硬是八點多起床，上網查一下北插天山的路線及地圖，想趁這四天假期中，唯一有空的白天去北插天山走走。結果查完資料就開始下大雨，就沒辦法好好去拍照了，考慮著下雨天要不要去爬山，後來還是決定，既然不知道北插天山那裡有沒有下雨，那就到現場看看再做決定吧！不然在家的推測都只是空想。
一路上雨大到眼睛都睜不開（家裡的安全帽沒有護目鏡），根本不能騎車，還是把鴨舌帽戴在安全帽底下，眼睛才能在帽簷的保護之下睜開，心想：好在有戴帽子。
到了車行終點，雨還是下著，只是已變為綿綿細雨，但時間都已經中午了，肚子也餓了，那就先吃路上買來的7-11便當吧！在小雨中吃便當，另有一番趣味，天際還有巨嘴鴉及大冠鷲的叫聲自遠方傳來，但就是蚊子多了點。還有一隻巨嘴鴉飛過呢！吃完之後就在附近拍拍照就回家吧！由於打算走到傍晚六點的心理準備落空了，因此想多拍幾張照片回去，連頭上飛過的巨嘴鴉也想拍，結果發現這隻巨嘴鴨的嘴巴好小喔！放大一看，阿娘喂～，這不是鵰頭鷹（東方蜂鷹）嗎？難怪頭比較小，回想飛過頭上時牠在叫的聲音，聽起來的感覺介在巨嘴鴉及星鴉之間，再怎麼想也聯想不到鷹類啊！（金害！〔閩南語）自己對鳥音不行還牽拖？）這隻是男生，姑且就叫牠「阿瘋」好了，拍了幾張，從阿瘋來的枯樹上又飛來另一隻同伴，那就叫牠「阿英」好了！阿英飛到阿瘋停的樹的附近一棵樹上才2秒，兩鳥就連袂離去，徒讓我驚在當下，而阿英的照片一張也沒拍到，只是讓我的相機沾了一些飄雨。
不禁在想，阿英到底是阿瘋的牽手（閩南語）呢？還是兄弟姐妺？又或著是剛認識的朋友？這就要問牠們了。另外，不禁開心，雨中也能拍到猛禽，好在有出來走走，不然在家怎能遇到？
後記：下山的路上又開始在下大雨（or暴雨？），但快到大溪的範圍前，拐過一個彎就沒甚麼雨了，難怪在過彎前看到對向車道旁有一輛機車停在路旁，兩人正七手八腳在穿雨衣，應該是他們轉彎前都沒甚麼雨，一轉彎就遇上大雨，才會緊急停在彎道中這樣危險的地方吧？

在我第一次去爬南湖大山的路上，才一開始走710林道沒有多遠，就聽到一種奇特的鳥叫聲，同行的人告訴我這是小翼鶇的叫聲，這就是我與小翼鶇的第一次接觸。而菜鳥有菜鳥的好運，我才剛認識牠的叫聲，過沒多久，就在草叢中看到牠的廬山真面目，是一隻黑黑的鳥，個子不大，頭上有白色的一字眉，滿可愛的，可惜沒有幾秒就躲起來了，來不及拍。跟同伴說我看到小翼鶇，還不太相信，直到我描述牠的特徵才相信，原來小翼鶇雖然是常常可遇到的鳥，但是非常害羞，往往是只聞其聲，不見其影。
果然，往後幾年我遇到很多次，就是沒看到，用聲音去鎖定牠的位置，牠每次都是躲在灌木草叢之後，而且是密到不能再密的灌叢，印象中只有一、兩次運氣好，看到牠的身影一晃而過，其他時候連個影子都看不到。每每屢試不爽，但就是找不到。
上次去水漾森林的路上，按照往例，用聲音去鎖定牠的位置，牠一樣在還是灌叢中，但這次，牠站的位置，竟然可以從某個特定的角度，穿過灌叢看到裡面的小翼鶇。牠就這樣唏唏地叫著，我就這樣靜靜地按下快門。牠還持續叫了一下子，才從容地跳到更深處，因此雖然光源不足，我還是用DC拍了幾張可辨識的照片。這樣的經歷讓我非常興奮，因為認識牠這麼多年，可還是第一次為牠拍張照，仔細看，牠的眼中有沒有發出白光（白目）？
 

3rd Mar 2014  in Mei-Feng, Ren'ai
I heard that some co-workers talked excitedly when I stay in my dormitory. I went out to see what happened, then saw one of aborigine co-workers, Wu-gine grabbed a raptor with his hand. Oh! It’s quite worth to be excited. I realize this event form their description .
First Wu-gine found this raptor pull off feathers from a pigeon on the trees beside the dormitory before. After he left, this raptor took pigeon through trees to laundry area. Then A-Fen, another co-worker lives in the same building with me rode scooter pass clothesline area. This raptor got a shock from her and flew away immediately. A-Fen saw the pigeon corps then found the raptor stood on the trestle of blueberry yard. It might be too rash to get hooked by net of blueberry yard. Wu-gine’s being at this dormitory at this moment was coincidence. He caught this raptor from the net easily. I followed him to office and shew it to co-workers ,because watching a raptor so closely is very rare. Wu-gine had to finish duty, so he gave me this raptor and left. Finally I placed it on a peach tree, but it didn’t stood on the tree then just flew away. Then the raptor was disappear in the wall of trees.
I recognize it as Crested Goshawk, Accipiter trivirgatus formosae at the outset. The second day I knew it was Besra, Accipiter virgatus fuscipectus after my friend reminded on website.

I’m working in Riedy Banana farm now.
2nd July, Wes, Richy, and me went back shed at smoko. I stood on the back of the truck and saw two Sarus Crane stand in grassland, when we almost achieved shed. Actually I thought they are Broga, because Sarus Crane is more hard to see. These two were really big, so I felt excited. 
 As truck stop, I jumped down to take my camera and ran out of shed to take picture. Suddenly I saw a flock of Straw-necked Ibis flew up. This scene was very great, but I found something wrong with birds. Then I saw a big bird was following them. That big bird is a quite huge eagle, because Straw-necked Ibis weren’t small and the eagle still was bigger than them. I observed Straw-necked Ibises flew together tried to get out of eagle’s catching , then they flew away. The eagle flew around a raw of trees then stopped on one.
 I was satisfied, and remembered what I wanted to take picture for originally. Fortunately they were still there. But they were scared and flew more far from me when I stood a little closer.

母鴛鴦自10號巢箱內往上躍，攀住巢箱出口探頭而出，

這是幾個月前的事了，那時我到洲仔還沒一個月..... 

最近在洲仔觀察鴛鴦，
因為正值牠們的繁殖季，
但我一直找不到他們的繁殖證據，
