cranes (Grus antigone sharpii) returned to the Long Xuyen quadrangle to
find food this dry season one month later than the previous dry season.
The return of these migrating birds, almost 100 more than there were last year, can be seen not only at their traditional Bang grass (lepierola arpiculata) fields in Binh An commune, Kien Luong district but also on 2,800ha of Bang grass in Phu My commune, Giang Thanh district bordering Cambodia.
The cranes were observed sleeping at their new destination, instead of flying to seek sleeping spots as they did in previous years when they came to Binh An commune, Kien Luong district.
Phu My commune lies within the red-headed crane protection zone of a project to preserve Bang grass fields as the food source for red-headed cranes and help revive and maintain the tradition of making grass products for the Khmer ethnic minority.
The first phase of the International Crane Foundation-financed project was carried out almost three years ago at the cost of 150,000 USD./.
