Atiu Swiftlets, Cook Islands
库克群岛阿蒂乌金丝燕
For many birdwatchers, it's a dream trip to witness dozens of tiny, toddlerswiftlets lined up, hanging from the walls of their pitch-black home within theAnatakitaki Kopeka Cave. Similar to bats, these echolocating birds are endemicto Atiu—and only 500 or so remain. Marshall Humphreys is the only tour operatoron the island offering guided tours to see these kopeka birds. The three-hourexcursion commences with a cool dip in a candlelit grotto. Nesting season isMay to October.
对观鸟爱好者来说，可以观察黑漆漆的Anatakitaki 科佩卡山洞里排着队挂在墙上的金丝燕宝宝们，真是一场梦想之旅。这种类似于蝙蝠靠回声定位的鸟，是阿蒂乌的特有物种——目前仅存数量只有500只。马歇尔汉弗莱斯是岛上唯一提供观察科佩卡鸟的导游服务的运营商。三个小时的旅程始于凉飕飕依靠烛光照明的洞穴。5月到10月是鸟儿筑巢的季节。
