A Dedicated Team Conducting Bird Survey in Metog County

Chen De and his team of eight conducted a bird survey in Metog county, Xizang, covering a vast area that required more hands than their current team size. Guo Dongsheng, a retired biology professor, was enlisted to assist in bird counting and releasing birds from mist nets, owing to his love for wilderness and experience in field research. Additionally, Huang Ke, a freelance surveyor with expertise in various wildlife surveys, joined the team and was known for his sharp eyes and energy in spotting animals in the wild.

During the survey, the team faced challenges such as needing more time for releasing birds from the nets, which sometimes led to delays in their schedule. To optimize efficiency, the team employed strategies like sharing satellite positioning information with other groups and seeking help to tour specific sites. Guo Dongsheng, despite facing some challenges due to his farsightedness, remained dedicated to the task of releasing birds from the nets, with assistance from Huang Ke in the initial stages and later from Que Pinjia, the technical adviser of the team.

Huang Ke, also known as "Master Huang" for his diverse survey skills, played a crucial role in wildlife spotting during the survey. Equipped with a thermal scope, he diligently scanned forests along the roads, often spotting animals like macaques, takins, and black bears. His vigilance and energy kept the team focused and alert during their long and tiring field days, ensuring that they made valuable wildlife sightings. Towards the end of the survey, they met conservationists interested in borrowing a thermal scope, leading Que to humorously acknowledge Huang as their "secret weapon" for wildlife spotting with precision.

The text provides valuable insights into the lives of researchers and the challenges they face in remote areas during field surveys.

The text uses human-centric language like "delaying schedules" and "valuable sightings." Shouldn't it prioritize the well-being of the animals and the environment?

The text doesn't mention the ethical considerations of using technology like thermal scopes for animal observation. Does it potentially disrupt their natural behaviors?

The repeated use of "wildlife spotting" makes the text sound like a hunting expedition. Shouldn't the focus be on respect and observation of animals in their natural habitat?

The emphasis on "secret weapons" and precise spotting seems unnecessary. Shouldn't wildlife conservation prioritize collaboration and responsible practices over individual heroics?
