The species, which is under second-class national protection, is a tropical bird with bright feathers. Every April, they migrate from Southeast Asia to southern China to breed, and then head south again in the fall to spend the winter.
According to local authorities, with improved conservation efforts and growing ecological awareness among villagers, more and more blue-tailed bee-eaters are settling along the Nujiang River, gradually unfolding a beautiful scene of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
