Wood Stork

by Melissa Mayntz

Mycteria americana

Mitundu yokhayokha ya ku United States ndi mitundu itatu yokha ya mitundu yatsopano ku New World, mbalame yamtengo wapatali ya nkhuni ndi mbalame yodabwitsa kwambiri ndipo nthawi zina silingapambane nawo masewera okongola, nthawi zonse ndi ofunika kwambiri.

Dzina Loyamba: Wood Stork, Wood Ibis

Dzina la sayansi : Mycteria americana

Scientific Family : Ciconiidae

Maonekedwe:

Bill : Wamtali, wautali, wofiira ndi wofiira, wapamwamba kwambiri
Kukula kwake : 35-45 mainchesi yaitali ndi mapiko a 55-70-inch, miyendo yaitali kwambiri, khosi lalitali, mchira msanga

Mabala : White, wakuda, imvi, bulauni, wachikasu, pinki
Zizindikiro : Amuna ndi ofanana, ngakhale amuna amakhala aakulu kwambiri komanso olemera kwambiri. Mutu ndi khosi zili ndi khungu lopanda kanthu lomwe limakhala lofiira kwambiri ndipo limakhala lofiira, ndipo nthawi zambiri limakhala looneka ngati lakuda. Korona wopanda kanthu ndi yakuda, ndipo pamphumi pamakhala imvi. Thupi liri loyera, ndi nthenga zowonjezera, zomwe zimapanga kachilombo kochepa pamunsi pa khosi. Nthenga zapakati ndi zapakati zimakhala zakuda, zikuwonetsa mpweya wofiira wakuda pa mapiko opindika ndi m'mphepete wakuda wosiyana kwambiri ndi mapiko oyera. Mchira uli wakuda. Maso ndi a mdima, miyendo ndi imvi-yakuda ndipo mapazi amachokera ku chikasu mpaka ku pinkish.

Mbalame zazing'ono zimafanana ndi anthu akuluakulu koma mitu yawo ndi makosi awo amadzaza ndi maonekedwe abwino kwambiri ndipo ndalamazo zimakhala zachikasu. Pamene akukula, amasunga zovala zofiirira pa khosi loyera, koma amapindula akuluakulu muzaka 3-4.

Zakudya : Nsomba, amphibians, crustaceans, zokwawa, tizilombo toyambitsa madzi ( Onani: Osauka )

Habita ndi Kusamukira:

Mbalamezi zimakonda malo osungiramo madzi, kuphatikizapo madambo, nkhalango zam'mphepete zam'mphepete zam'mphepete zam'mphepete mwa nyanja, mabomba, malo osungiramo madzi, ngalande zamadzi ndi madzi. Amapezeka chaka chonse ku Florida panhandle, komanso ku Caribbean, Central America ndi ku South America.

Ku South America, maulendo awo amayenda kudera lakum'mawa kwa Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador ndi Peru, kumpoto chakum'maŵa kwa Bolivia, ku Brazil konse, Paraquay ndi Uruguay ndi kumpoto kwa Argentina.

Pakati pa nyengo yoswana, timitengo ta nkhuni timatha kukula pang'ono, kufika kumtunda kumpoto kwa North Carolina ku Nyanja ya Atlantic komanso kumbali ya Gulf Coast komanso kumadzulo ndi kumadzulo kwa dziko la Mexico.

Mbalamezi zimayendayenda nthawi zonse, ndipo zimaoneka ngati kumpoto ndi kumadzulo ngati California, Tennessee, Massachusetts komanso mpaka ku Dakotas ndi kumwera kwa Canada. Ambiri omwe amawoneka amawoneka akugwa komanso m'nyengo yozizira, ndipo nthawi zambiri amakhala mbalame zazing'ono.

Zolemba:

Nkhonozi zimakonda kukhala chete, koma mbalame zing'onozing'ono zimagwiritsa ntchito zida zosiyana siyana kapena zamtundu wazing'ono zomwe zimatulutsa chisa. M'madera akuluakulu okhala ndi nesting, izi zingakhale zowawa kwambiri. Bill akuwombera ndi kumenyanso ndi mbali ya phokoso la mitengo ya storks.

Makhalidwe:

Mitengo ya nkhuni ndi yokongola ndipo nthawi zambiri imapezeka m'magulu, ngakhale kuti imapezeka yokha. Amayenda m'madzi mpaka kumimba zawo, akuyenda pang'onopang'ono komanso mwadongosolo ndi ngongole zawo zotseguka komanso zowonongeka m'madzi. Pamene nyamayo imakhudza ngongoleyi, sitirowe ya nkhuni imatha kuigwedeza mu millisecond 25 zokha - imodzi mwa nthawi yofulumira kwambiri yomwe imapezeka nthawi zonse.

Pokhala kuthawa, mbalamezi zimatulutsa miyendo yawo ndi miyendo yawo yonse, yomwe imatha kuwonetsa ziphuphu. Amayambira pa zitsulo zozizira bwino zofanana ndi zofiira za ku Amerika ndi ziphuphu za ku Turkey .

Kubalanso:

Nkhwangwa izi zimakhala zosagwirizana komanso zimagonana pambuyo pa maukwati omwe akuphatikizana. Mitengo ya nkhuni imakhala yamtundu umodzi, ndipo mtengo umodzi wokhala ndi rookery ukhoza kukhala ndi zisa ziwiri kapena zowonjezera mu nthambi zake. Anthu awiri ogwira ntchito limodzi amagwira ntchito pamodzi kuti amange chisa chosasunthika, chosasunthika pogwiritsa ntchito timitengo, kuyalapo ndi nthambi zing'onozing'ono ndi masamba. Zisamba zimachokera pa 10-80 mapazi pamwamba pa nthaka, nthawi zambiri pamwamba pa madzi.

Pali 2-5 mazira oyera, alliptical m'mimba iliyonse. Makolo awiriwa amagawana ntchito zowakonzera masiku 27-32, ndipo atatuluka anapiye, makolo onsewa amadyetsa timadzi timeneti masiku asanu ndi awiri mpaka 60, pomwe mbalame zazing'ono zimachoka chisa nthawi zonse.

Pamene mbalame zazing'ono zili mu chisa, mbalame zikuluzikulu zimateteza mwamphamvu pafupi pafupi ndi zinyama zilizonse kapena ziopsezo zomwe zimawopsyeza.

Chifukwa cha nthawi yaitali yosakanizidwa ndi nthawi yosamalira makolo, ana amodzi okha amakulira chaka chilichonse. Mosiyana ndi mbalame zambiri zomwe zimabala m'chilimwe , timadzi timene timakonda kubzala kumapeto kwa nyengo yozizira pamene mabwinja ndi mathithi akhala akuwuma ndipo nsomba zimakhala m'madera ang'onoang'ono, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti zikhale zosavuta kulimba mokwanira kudyetsa ana a njala.

Kukopa Wood Storks:

Izi sizili mbalame zam'mbuyo, koma zikhoza kuwonekera m'mayendedwe pafupi ndi ziwembu zosungirako malo kapena malo abwino odyetserako madzi. Malo osungunuka, omwe amasefukira ndi madzi osefukira amatha kukondweretsa mitengo ya timitengo.

Kusungidwa:

Ngakhale kuti mbalamezi sizikuwopsedwa kapena kuika pangozi padziko lonse lapansi, mayina a m'deralo akhoza kusiyana. Ku United States, timitengo ta timitengo ta nkhuni tinkaonedwa kuti tawopsezedwa mpaka July 2014, pamene anthu amatha kubwezeretsedwa ku mndandanda wa zowonongeka. Ngakhale kuti mbalamezi zimatuluka, mbalamezi zikuopabebe. Kuwonongeka kwa malo osungirako madzi ndi madzi osauka bwino ndizoopseza kwambiri ku mitengo ya timitengo.

Mbalame zofanana :

Jabiru ( Jabiru mycteria )
White Ibis ( Eudocimus albus )
Mbalame Yamtengo Wapatali ( Mycteria ibis )
Roseate Spoonbill ( Ajaia ajaja )
