The past few days' gain wasn't just about seeing a variety of rare animals.
Once, Fang Ye saw a bird's nest atop a power pole by the road, clearly of an artificial design.
It was inhabited by a pair of saker falcons!
One saker falcon squatted inside, seemingly incubating eggs, while the falcon father brought back a pika from outside, offering it to his mate, and the two saker falcons were blissfully content.
Curious, Fang Ye asked, "What's this about?"
Qunan shook his head, indicating he only knew that some power poles were outfitted with this, and some birds made nests on them, but he wasn't sure about the specifics.
So, Fang Ye took a photo and asked Mr. Short-Eared Owl for some information.
Upon seeing the photo, Mr. Short-Eared Owl replied that he was outside at the moment but would talk about it when he came back in the evening.
Fang Ye expressed his understanding!
Looking at his friend's social media, it was filled with observing animals all day long.
