前些日子，我经友人介绍而去野狐山拍摄白鹭。
山道旁有人在钉挂木牌。木牌略略陈旧，上面写着宣传语“爱鸟护鸟是人类的美德”。“橐橐”或“嗒嗒”的敲击声在林中似乎清越。我向他询问，果然他就是这野狐山上护鹭人—邵伟荣。
简单客套寒暄几句，邵伟荣要继续巡山，让我随意而行，约好中午一起吃饭。
白鹭多数为候鸟，少数为留鸟。每年春天，白鹭从热带越冬归来，在野狐山栖息生活。野狐山在浙江省兰溪市游埠镇境内，是浙西山区中的丘陵一冈，山上以樟树和杉树为林。近年，当地在建设美丽中国的行动中，着力打造人与自然和谐共处的生态文明，为鸟类栖息繁殖提供了良好的环境。野狐山的白鹭自由自在，在蔚蓝的天空中飞翔起舞，在苍翠的林木间憩息交颈……
阳光照进林隙，反而显得愈发寂静。我转悠着角度，等待着镜头，捕捉着瞬间。一只鹭鸟惊起，掠起一片白影远去。野狐山并不太深，也不太高。浅浅的回声中，很快地，邵伟荣出现了。他解释道：“5月至7月正是白鹭繁殖季节。白鹭是涉禽。成群结队的成年白鹭起早贪黑到野狐山附近的水田、泽地、湖塘、溪湾里觅食，不辞辛劳地来回给巢里的小白鹭喂食，演绎着野生动物慈爱的天性。”
中年的他一脸憨厚。接着，我俩相视一笑：他笑，是护鹭之情；我笑，是明白之意。
白鹭每年春天返回野狐山生儿育女，给游埠镇增添了无限活泼生机与美景。这段时间里，邵伟荣特别忙碌，他每天上午和下午至少要两次巡山，寻找因刮风和受游客惊吓而掉落的小白鹭。有受伤的，他带回住所，及时进行救治、喂食，待得羽毛渐丰放归山林。
野狐山上白鹭云集，成了当地一道独特风景，各地前来观赏、学习拍摄的游客、师生、摄影爱好者越来越多。但也有一些人趁清晨和傍晚掏鹭蛋抓雏鹭，还有人明目张胆拉网捕鸟，邵伟荣每每进行劝说制止。为更好地保护白鹭，他自掏腰包4万多元在山林中建起一座观鸟台，专供游客和摄影爱好者观赏、拍摄白鹭的美丽身姿。同时，他还在山路边立起了20多块写有诸如“进入林区请勿喧哗”“保护鸟类”“同在蓝天下，人鸟共家园”等内容的宣传告示牌。
我登上观鸟台四下眺望，眼前疏枝空落，层林接后，目光尽处有隐隐烟岚云影。几名摄影爱好者同时在抓拍一只叼着干草筑巢的黄嘴白鹭。我用长焦摄取喂食幼鸟的大白鹭。
邵伟荣承包了这片山地，与白鹭朝夕相处。他对白鹭有深厚的感情，记录白鹭每年到来、离开的时间及数量等情况，记录白鹭的活动和生长等过程，记录有关白鹭的一切。为此，他购买了一些相关鸟类的普及类图书，还请人打印网上资料，长夜寂寞，青灯披览。
邵伟荣在山上开了一家农家餐馆，一来为使游客有个歇憩和吃饭的地方，自己也可以常年吃住在山上；二是除了家庭日常开销之外，他能把农家餐馆产生的利润全部投入到白鹭的保护之中。从2007年起，邵伟荣为保护野狐山上的白鹭，已经花去20多万元。
中午，我和邵伟荣就在这农家餐馆便餐。饭后清茶。我问及他保护白鹭的初衷，他简单回答：“我不会讲大道理，只觉得应该。”我又问他其中甘苦，他说：“秋天冬天有点没事做。”我能够体察到当白鹭南行时他短暂的失落与惆怅，甚至酸楚。我想起行前友人说的，邵伟荣即便在春节，也只是下山回家呆一个大年夜、一个正月初一。
稍稍沉默。邵伟荣显然需要释放情怀而介绍：说不上什么时候，野狐山飞来了最早一批白鹭，数量只有几十只，这几年加强了保护措施，每年到来的白鹭越来越多，现在至少有上万只。他说，来这里的白鹭品种也越来越多，林中栖息的有大白鹭、中白鹭、小白鹭，还有牛背鹭、灰鹭、苍鹭和黄嘴白鹭等品种。其中，大白鹭和小白鹭属于《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约》名单上的物种；大白鹭和中白鹭同被列入《中华人民共和国政府和日本国政府保护候鸟和栖息环境的协定》；黄嘴白鹭是国际濒危物种、国家二级重点保护动物，已被列入《国家保护的有益的或者有重要经济、科学研究价值的陆生野生动物名录》。
说到这里，邵伟荣很开心，也很自豪。他说，野狐山可以说是目前兰溪境内，甚至是周边县市中发现的最大的白鹭栖息地。看到白鹭在这里安逸地生儿育女，目睹前来观赏、拍摄白鹭的游客和摄影爱好者满意的笑脸，“我心里就有说不出的快乐”。
我也快乐。我感谢邵伟荣的招待，更感谢他的奉献。
热爱生物，热爱山水自然，是中华民族的传统。人文浙江之所以积淀深厚，便因为有像邵伟荣这样的普通人在做普通事。细雨润物，潜移默化。于是，民俗风情、人物性格、艺术思想、文化精神等等，逐渐醇厚并晕染开来……
晚春的轻风吹过，夹杂丝丝凉意。看着白鹭低飞、陆续落下归巢，邵伟荣向我淡然一挥手。没有告别，他兴许知道我一定会再来。

Egrets Thrive at Wild Fox Mountain
Photos and Text by Zhang Jiancheng
I went to photograph egrets at Mount Wild Fox. Located in Lanxi， a rural city in central Zhejiang Province， Wild Fox has long since thrived as a habitat favored by egrets. My friends convinced me that Wild Fox was a good place to do bird watching and photograph them.
Most egrets that set up their homes at Wild Fox are migrant birds. They come to Mount Wild Fox in the spring after wintering in the south. Wild Fox is one of numerous hills in the mountainous west of Zhejiang and presents a forest of camphor trees and firs.
I followed a path to the hill and spotted a man nailing a small advertisement board by the path. I chatted with him and he turned out to be Shao Weirong， the very guardian of egrets at Wild Fox. He invited me to lunch at one o’clock. I continued my trip into the dense woods. Sunshine seeped through treetops. Peace reigned. I held my camera up and waited. An egret fluttered its wings and its white shape flew past as a feather. Wild Fox is by no means a huge and tall mountain. Soon， Shao Weirong appeared as if out of nowhere. We chatted again. He explained： Egrets mate and breed from May to July；egrets hunt fish in rice paddies， marshlands， lakes and ponds， and creeks around Wild Fox. They bring food back to baby egrets in nests.
After the explanation， he smiled and I smiled. He smiled to show he cared about the birds. I smiled to indicate I understood what he did.
The white birds came back to Wild Fox every spring. The return of egrets brings tourists to Youbu， a town near the mountain. To protect egrets， Shao patrols the hill at least twice a day. If a baby egret falls out of nests， he picks it up and feeds it until it can fly back to the woods.
Photographers love the mount and they frequent the egret habitat. However， some residents living near the mount often sneak to the habitat in morning or in evening to steal egret eggs. Some set up nets in the sky to capture flying egrets. Shao Weirong is the self-appointed guardian of these lovely egrets at Wild Fox. Since 2007， he has spent more than 200，000 yuan to protect the habitat.
A local farmer contracted to watch the woods in the hill， he has built a viewing platform at a vantage spot at his own cost. The viewing platform provides tourists and photographers with a commanding view of the mount and its bird guests.
When Shao took it upon himself to protect the habitat， there were only dozens of egrets and most were absent in winter. Now Wild Fox is home to about ten thousand egrets of various species thanks to Shao’s individual undertaking and the local government’s efforts.
Standing on the platform， I took a panoramic view of Wild Fox. A few photographers were photographing an egret building a nest with dry straws. Through long lens， I aimed my camera at anegret feeding its babies.
Shao Weirong keeps a record of egrets’ arrival and departure dates and numbers， their activities. In order to understand egrets better， he bought some books on birds and bird preservation. He supports himself financially by operating a restaurant near the mount top. The business is good enough to sustain himself and everyday expenses of his family.
We had lunch together at Shao’s restaurant. After lunch， we enjoyed a cup of tea and we chatted again. I asked why he took the initiative to run his egret project. He said laconically， “I don’t know how to say it like a theorist. I just feel that’s what I should do.” I asked how he felt about his one-man’s undertaking. He feels lonely and idle in autumn and winter. It is the time when egrets are not around. My friends had told me that Shao Weirong spent 363 days and nights in the mountain. He stays at home only for the eve of the Spring Festival and the first day of the lunar year.
Shao is proud that the Wild Fox habitat is now home to some egret species under protection of the national government， proud because he is doing his best to contribute to the preservation of some endangered egret species. He is proud that Wild Fox is the largest egret habitat in Lanxi. And it is probably the largest egret habitat among neighboring counties and county-level cities. He said his ecstasy knew no bounds when seeing tourists come to watch birds and photo buffs come to photograph the water birds.
He smiled. I said thank you to him for his hospitality. Spring breeze swept through the woods. I felt a little bit cold toward the evening. Egrets were coming home. Shao Weirong waved to me lightly but he did not say goodbye. Probably he knew it was not necessary since he knew certainly I would come back to see these lovely birds.
