发现凤头鹰雕limnaeetus亚种黑色型

Dark-morph of the Changeable Hawk Eagle Nisaetus cirrhatus limnaeetus found in Wenshan, Yunnan

2018年7月25日,云南省文山壮族苗族自治州文山市森林公安局收容救护到一只大型猛禽,经鉴定为凤头鹰雕limnaeetus亚种Nisaetus cirrhatus limnaeetus的黑色型。该亚种的黑色型较为罕见,此次发现应为该色型在中国的首次记录。但由于该只猛禽为逃逸鸟,故此次的发现较难以确切判断其来源究竟是自然分布被非法猎捕,还是走私或非法贸易而得。因而,今后还需持续不断地开展鸟类野外调查活动,不断丰富对云南鸟类分类与分布的认识。

On July 25, 2018, Wenshan City Forest Public Security Bureau of Yunnan province rescued a raptor,which was identified as the Dark-morph of the Nisaetus cirrhatus limnaeetus. The Dark-morph of this subspecies is relatively rare. This discovery should be the first record for the Dark-morph in China. It’s a rescue bird, so it’s difficult to determine its origin as illegal hunting or illegal trade. We suggest more field survey to be made in the future for further information about its distribution.
