章节摘录
版权页: 插图: It's very early in the morning and I'm sitting outside. It's also very cold and dark. With me is JimNightingale, and he is the reason I'm up so early. He passes me a hot cup of coffee. "Not long to wait now, "he says. Ihope he's right. After a few minutes there is a very weak light in the east, and then I hear a bird singing. It sings very loud andclear. "That's the robin(知更鸟) ," says Jim. A few more birds start singing with the robin and Jim knows the names ofthem, too. Half an hour later, there are more and more birds singing, and it's very loud! Suddenly, the air all around usis full of the sound of birdsong. This is the dawn chorus(晨鸣),and it's beautiful. "Wow, this is amazing!"I tell Jim, who is smiling. "Is there a dawn chorus every morning?" "Birds can sing any time of the year but the best time is the end of winter and during the spring. This is when thebirds sing most. " "Really? So,why do they sing?"I ask. "Well, there are two reasons, "explains Jim. "Most of the songbirds who sing are males. The females listen and choose the best singer! The birds also sing to tellother males to go away. They need their own area;they don't like sharing with another male. " I listen to the birds;the songs seem too much to me. "Do the birds sing a special song in the morning?" "That's a good question," replies Jim. "The successful birds have many kinds of calls and songs. Sometimes theycopy the songs of other birds. This makes it sound like there are many birds in that place already and other males willstay away. Also the female likes songs with different notes. Some birds, for example the European wren, havesongs that, over 700 different notes per minute!" So, how does Jim know so much about birds? Well, he works as a volunteer for the Royal Society for the Protectionof Birds. He is trying to help the birds live in the modern world. "More and more of the birds' habitat disappears everyyear. The sparrow,for example,was a very common bird in the UK;now it's in danger. "
