Sleet Biography

In the spring, we hunt a woodcock, a goose or a duck with an alternate or mank.

In the fall-at first we perform with the cops to the swamp-pound game, then the hunt for the duck begins. In this post, I wanted to pay attention to the several main types of ducks found in our area - this is a crack, suction, chirus, awlness, Shirokonosk, blacken and baldness. This is one of the well -known and common rocks of ducks. It is large, about 60 cm in length. The head and neck of the Selezny is covered with emerald-perturbated velvet cover.

The cervical part of the dark body is separated by a bright white rim. The female has a much more modest color - she is brown with a variety of films. Kryakvs fly in large packs in the spring, at the end of March, when the fluffy carpets of snow still lie on the ground. But as soon as the warm cozy sun begins to weave its patterns, forming puddles and nimble streams, the crack ducks descend to them.

In this early period, they are still shy and preoccupied with circumstances. A little later, when green grass will become a good shelter for ducks, they will become more peaceful and more relaxed. The ducks will break into pairs, and will be an idyllic picture of family life: the husband-selesin does not leave his wife-blade. The duck receives the opportunity to secretly leave the faithful loving spouse, the duck receives at the time of laying the eggs.

Then she finally leaves him and goes into the reeds for hatching. The spleen at this time continues to miss and call a girlfriend, and becomes good prey for hunters. By the end of August - by early September, when the brood has already grown, the second season of hunting begins. Young animals are bright and smaller than the old drakes. It does not differ with his mind and quick wits, and therefore the hunter allows him close to himself.

In October, ducks begin to go astray into packs and leave their ragged places. Sviyaz spleen. This is less than a “grunt” duck with a brick color with a head and a light body. It reaches 50 cm in size. The male during a quick flight makes a whistling sound similar to Sviii-Sviiii. The sounds of females are similar to a short crackling Ker. The high flight speed of this duck makes the hunter seriously work hard.

But they shoot at the Sviyaz not only for the sake of sports excitement, but also for the sake of delicious duck meat. This duck is not vigilant and therefore easier to take it, being in a good scrap. Sviyazi nesting in places not far from water bodies and covered from the eyes. A month and a half after healing, the chicks can fly. Winter plans begin to build in September-October.

Although the span may linger until November. This is a small bird about 35 cm long with a short neck and pointed wings. Thanks to them, the chirus can quickly soak up vertically up almost at right angles. In the male, in the wedding period, a bright colorful coloring, which he loses by the end of summer, becoming similar to a gray female. Several types of chirks are known and all of them differ in appearance.

The spleen - the chiro -sivist - has a green strip, horizontally passing along the line of the eye. Flying in the wedding period around the female, he makes a whistling sound, because he received such a name. Another subspecies - a chiro -tapress - is distinguished by a white strip on the head. This, in turn, in pursuit of a female with a bang and noise smashes everything around.

The places of his nesting are North Asia, Sakhalin. On the head of the chirus is a beautiful pattern consisting of gold and emerald strips. And, finally, the fourth species - the marble picket has a characteristic name of the color. The duck and the drain, as always, differ from each other not in favor of the first. The duck is light gray with a pattern "In a speck". The Selezny has a dark coffee-colored head and a white neck with a strip that is characteristic upwards in the occipital part.

The body itself is gray. The tail of the selezny is awl -like, elongated - hence the name. This is a large duck that reaches sizes cm including the tail. In flight, the awlness often waves wings and makes a whistling sound in the air. In the process of flight from wintering sites, relationships can be started in awls and then they will fly to the place of nesting in pairs.

For nests, dry places are chosen, more often open. Shirokonoska, as the name is clear, the nose of this duck is wide. This is a relatively small individual with a short neck. The color of the female is colorful, gray -brown. The male has a dark green head with a pearl tint, a white body with red sides and belly, and a black back with a tail. The duck lives in open places: steppes, meadows, on the treeless islands.

The feed of Shirokonosk is in shallow water. Her diet is larvae, mollusks and insects. The marriage period of Shirokonoski proceeds from April to June. From the moment the eggs are hatched, the female is left alone, and the spleen with friends plunges into her bachelor concerns. Black or black. A flock of ink, flying in spring and sitting on the water surface of lakes or ponds, turns the surface of the reservoirs into a black bedspread.

The crested blackening on the head has a crest. In the Selezny, it is more pronounced than in the female. The spleen itself is all black with a white belly. The color of the duck is brown. The spleen makes sounds similar to “gu-gu-gu”.It is nesting, as a rule, in groups, along rivers and lakes, in overgrown areas. Often it can be found in the park zone. The sea is also known. This is a large physique of a dive with a short neck.

The absence of a crest on the back of the head is distinguished by a related look. This duck wintering in the area of ​​the sea coasts, nesting flies into the zones of running lakes with rich vegetation. The baldness is this waterfowl. Water for her is the main habitat, as a rule, this is shallow water. At a distance, this duck is easy to distinguish from others by the characteristic nod to the beat of the pushing with your legs and the tail lowered into the water.

Taking off, the bald man runs a few meters on the water, while diligently wings. The basting is fed with shoots and fruits of water flora. Both the duck and the spleen during the period of excretion of offspring jointly guard their nest. But not only security functions fall on the father - they also engage in egg hatching alternately.
