ʻO Korostel ka mea e lilo i kekahi o nā minamina i makemake ʻia no ka mea hoʻokele, ʻoiai he paʻakikī ke hopu, akā he mea hoihoi loa ia e ʻimi! Ke alakaʻi nei kēia mau manu i kahi ola pilikino, kokoke i nā manawa āpau e nalo aku i ka mauʻu.

No ka mea ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i nā manu, pono wau e hoʻomaopopo iā ʻoe, ʻoiai ʻaʻole he hoihoi kēia i ka hapanui) nā holoholona coronet no ka ʻohana kahuhipa a me ka puʻukahi kahu.

E ola pono ana ʻo Corncrake ma nā wahi āpau o Lūkia; ʻaʻole i loaʻa wale ma ka ʻĀkau loa a me ka Hikina. He manuahi kēia manu, no laila ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kona ola i ʻelua ʻāpana: ola i ko mākou ʻāina a me ke ola ma nā ʻāina sultry o ka ʻāpana Aferika ma ka hema o ka Sahara. ʻAʻole wau i ʻike i ka mea a lākou e hana ai ma ʻApelika, no laila, ʻaʻole wau e ʻōlelo i kekahi mea e pili ana i kēia kumuhana, akā e hauʻoli wau e haʻi iā ʻoe e pili ana i ke ola o nā korostels i kā mākou Hui Nui.

Hele mai nā corostels mua iā mākou i ka wā mua o Mei, a ua kaʻapa ʻia ka latecomers a hiki i ke kakahiaka o Iune. No ka mea huna honu ia ka corostel, lawe ʻo ia i nā mokulele i kahi e noho ai ma ka pō wale nō, a ʻo ka mea nui loa ia. ʻO ka hōʻea ʻana o kēia mau manu i ka hoʻākāka ʻia e ke kali ʻana iā lākou e kali ana i ka wā e ulu aʻe ai ka lau nahele, ma laila lākou e hoʻolilo ai i ka hapa nui o ko lākou ola. ʻAe, ʻike pinepine lākou i ka lewa, ma lalo o nā kūlana majeure, ka wā, no ka laʻana, ua pilikia ko lākou ola. Akā no kēia hihia, ʻaʻole lākou e lele i ka like me ka lākeke kupapaʻu, akā e lele i kahi mau ʻumi mau mika, a lū hou hou i ka mauʻu. Ke neʻe wikiwiki nei ka corncrake ma ka mauʻu. ʻAʻole au iʻike i ke kumu a lākou makemake ʻole ai e lele nui. Eia paha, i ka huakaʻi mai ʻApelika a Lūkia ua hoʻomaha loa lākou me ka makemake ʻole lākou e lele me ka nele ʻole.

Holo mua ʻo Males, e ukali ʻia e nā wāhine. ʻO ka pinepine ka loaʻa i nā neʻe wai, i nā wahi maemae, a me kekahi manawa kokoke i ka ʻāina paʻa, akā pale aku lākou i nā wahi lepo. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke ala a nā hōʻailona i hiki aku ai: ʻo ka lōʻihi o ke kino ʻoi aku ma mua o 30 cm, ke kaupaona ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ma mua o 200 g, plumage brownish-ʻulaʻula, ʻo ia ka "dilu" me nā huluhulu ʻeleʻele, kahi e waiho ai i ka kala o ka cornea. ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ka wahine i kahi kāne.

Hoʻomaka hoʻomaka ka manawa o ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani ma nā corostels ma hope o ka hiki ʻana mai. Hōʻalo nā kāne maoli, maʻamau a mālie, hoʻomaka ka ʻikepili i kekahi mea e like me ka "ʻoʻeʻa-kūloko" ma luna o ka nahele āpau, e hali ana i nā wahine. Ma hope o ka moe ʻana, hoʻomaka ka corostel wahine i kūkulu i kahi pā. Aia ia i ka ʻāina ma kahi kahi maloʻo. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa pinepine ʻia ia i ka nahele. ʻO ka ʻulu, ua uwē ka manu i kahi lua 3-4 cm hohonu a 11-15 cm paha ka lōʻihi, kahi mālama maikaʻi loa a me nā lālani me nā mauʻu a me ka moss. Lawe ka wahine i 7-8 a me 12-13 hua, ʻoi aku ka pua no 17 mau lā. ʻAno ke kala o nā ʻano hua me nā ʻulaʻula.

He makuahine kūʻokoʻa ʻo Korostel nāna e mālama maluhia i kāna mau moa. ʻOiai ia ʻole lākou i kū ʻole. ʻLelo lākou, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e haʻalele i ka masonry, ʻoiai ke hele kokoke mai kahi kanaka iā ia, no laila hiki ke ʻoluʻolu e kiʻi i kahi manu. Ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, waiho nā poni me nā ʻalā pehopaha i ka nalo ma ka nahele lāʻau a hoʻopau i nā pule ʻelua ʻelua ma lalo o ka ʻēheu o ko lākou makuahine. Ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana pehea e loaʻa ʻole ai ka ʻai, hoʻomaka lākou i ka pākeke. A me kā lākou makuahine, i hāpai ai i ka hua mua o ka ʻōpala o ka ʻōpala lau, hiki iā ia ke hana i kekona.

ʻO nā kukuna, nā pepeke, nā nūnū, nā pepeke manuahi, nā ʻōpū, nā anuʻi, nā ʻōpala, nā ʻūlū i hoʻokumu i ke kumu no ka hānai ʻana i nā kīwī, nā ʻōpio, nā turf, a me nā kahawai. marten o ka pahuʻi). ʻO ke corostel ikaika loa i ka ahiahi ahiahi a i ke kakahiaka.

I nā keena wela, lele ka crustel mai a mākou i kahi ma ke waena waena.

Ke kāwili ʻia no ka coriostel.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hopu i kahi mea kolohe me ka ʻole ʻīlio. ʻAʻole lawe ʻia nā ʻīlio o nā gundog i ka corostel, no ka mea ma muli o ke ʻano o kēia manu ua pau kā lākou mau ʻona a ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i nā ʻano manu ʻē aʻe, no ka laʻana, snipe. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole kū ke corcostel a kāpae koke i kahi holo, laila e alakaʻi ana i ka ʻīlio i ka hoihoi ʻole.

Akā hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi no kahi dergach me dvorteri (mongrels), kahi pālani maikaʻi. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻāla i ka manu i ka ʻēheu. Pahu nui ka corolla, lohi, a komo i loko ʻaʻole paʻakikī. Akā ʻo ka nui pinepine o nā manu e holo a peʻe i ka lāʻau i hiki ʻole ke peʻe iā lākou.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi ma kahi coronet a me ʻole ʻīlio. Hiki mua ka lawaiʻa i mua i kahi i loaʻa ai ka palaoa, ʻohi i ka mauʻu a ma ka ʻaoʻao kūkulu ʻia kahi ʻōpala mai nā lālā, kahi e kau ai ia. I ka lā aʻe, hiki mai ke mālamalama i kēia hiehie a nānā pono i ka wahi i kāʻili ʻia. Hōʻalo ʻo nā corostels e holo hewa i laila a hāʻule i lalo o ka pana o ka mea hahai. ʻAno kūlohelohe, ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke helu i nā manu i kēia kahu, pono e mālama pono kekahi i ka pūnaewele. No ka lā ma kēia ala hiki iā ʻoe ke hopu i kahi pākani o kēia mau manu ʻelua.

E kiʻi i ka coronel, e lawe i kahi hapa No. 7 a i ʻole, me ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi o ka hāʻule. ʻOi aku ia e hoʻohana i ka pauleʻa smokless i hiki ke ʻike i kahi i hāʻule ai ka mea pio.
