In early winter, a light mist hangs over the surface of Caohai Lake in Weining, with distant mountains appearing like dark eyebrows and the nearby water shrouded in haze. This plateau wetland in northwestern Guizhou displays a unique vitality in winter. In the sky, flocks of black-necked cranes gracefully circle, their long necks tracing beautiful arcs in the morning light; red-billed gulls frolic and soar, their white feathers shimmering in the sunlight; ruddy shelducks swim in flocks, their reddish-brown feathers contrasting beautifully with the azure lake; bar-headed geese fly in V-formations, emitting long, melodious calls, composing a symphony of life for Caohai in winter. At six in the morning, many photography enthusiasts have already gathered at the birdwatching spots around Caohai. They set up their telephoto lenses, quietly waiting for the first rays of sunlight to touch the lake. As the sun leaps above the horizon, the entire Caohai comes alive. A family of black-necked cranes gracefully forages in the shallows, adults carefully teaching their chicks to identify underwater plant roots; flocks of red-billed gulls skim the surface, occasionally darting to snatch a small fish; ruddy shelducks leisurely preen their feathers, while bar-headed geese rest peacefully among the reeds. These migratory birds overwinter here from October to March each year, traveling thousands of kilometers from the distant Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Mongolian steppes, and even Siberia. Weining Caohai Lake, as an important wetland ecosystem on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with its suitable climate, abundant food, and excellent ecological environment, has become an indispensable "wintering home" for these rare birds. On the shores of Caohai Lake, one can always witness moving scenes. A local elder in his seventies brings corn kernels to feed the birds every day, and the migratory birds gather affectionately around him. Young parents and children quietly observe the birds, whispering explanations of each species' habits. Photographers capture these precious moments with their lenses, deliberately keeping the shutter clicks soft, afraid of disturbing the tranquility. Stories of local villagers living in harmony with migratory birds abound. They deliberately leave foraging areas for birds when farming, avoid building houses near bird habitats, and even spontaneously organize patrols to prevent poaching. This philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature is deeply rooted in the lives of the locals. As the sun sets, golden rays bathe the lake. Migratory birds return to their nests, and birdwatchers, laden with their harvest, embark on their journeys home. The twilight at Caohai is exceptionally peaceful, with only the occasional bird call piercing the sky, as if telling a story of the year-after-year vigil and promise of this land. Winter in Weining Caohai is vibrant with life thanks to these visitors from afar, and especially warm because of people's cherishing and protection. This place is not only a natural wetland, but also an emotional bridge connecting people and nature, writing the most touching dialogue between lives. #CaohaiNationalNatureReserve #BeautifulExhibitionForPhotos #HarmonyBetweenHumansAndBirds
