Criteria for selecting habitats for overwintering migratory birds

Migratory birds will change locations in groups in autumn to choose an area suitable for spending the winter. The main reason is that the winter in the north is relatively cold, and all kinds of trees and leaves are withered, so there is no food for migratory birds. Moreover, the decline in climate will cause the water to freeze, so the migratory birds will have no drinking water. Therefore, for migratory birds, the environment in the northern region is not suitable for them to spend the winter, so the migratory birds will migrate to the southern region en masse. Previously, the places chosen by migratory birds were basically in the Poyang Lake area, Shengjin Lake area, Huangpi Lake, Wuchang Lake and other areas. Looking at the characteristics of these areas, we can infer the criteria for migratory birds to choose wintering places. The first criterion for an area that can allow migratory birds to spend the winter is that it must be far away from human settlements, allowing them to roam freely without being disturbed. The second criterion is that areas in eastern Vietnam must have sufficient water sources, preferably near wetlands or lakes. , which can provide them with endless water source support; thirdly, the climate and ecological environment in the wintering area must be suitable for the survival of migratory birds. 2.
