notes	利用国产多旋翼微型飞行器（无人机）拍摄高山兀鹫繁殖过程，获得大量数据。最近，美帝列强频繁利用无人机在阿拉伯地区放火杀人，高科技耀武扬威滥杀无辜。我们和平利用，另辟用途，翻开历史新篇章——调查与保护濒危物种，功劳莫大焉。 2014年4-8月，中国科学院新疆生态与地理研究所、新疆动物学会马鸣研究员及其项目组多次前往新疆天山后峡、昭苏、和硕、和静等地考察高山兀鹫繁殖生态（国家自然科学基金项目）。并且首次成功试用大疆创新公司的六旋翼和四旋翼遥控无人机（Phantom）拍摄高山兀鹫（HimalayanGriffon,Gypshimalayensis）生境、巢穴、亲鸟、幼鸟及其生长发育全过程。这几次使用的飞机均为超小型飞机（无人机），一种可遥控的六旋翼或四旋翼飞机。型号：Phantom（精灵、幽灵），厂家简称：大疆（DJI），价格：4000-9000元不等（不包括附件）。我们是第一次使用这种“会飞的照相机”——飞狗（携带黑狗——GoPro,HeroIII），可持续飞行7-15分钟，快速上升200-500米，控制范围1000-1500米，接近鹫窝10-20米。我们每次携带四套锂电池、六台微型录像机（GoPro，HeroIII），可以飞行至少四次。六旋翼无人机可以同时悬挂六台拍摄装置，实时监控，万无一失，拍摄全景图像。窝中的高山兀鹫及其幼雏非常好奇，一直在探头观望，其中一只成鸟飞近无人机，企图看个究竟，它盘旋、环绕、俯冲、接近无人机，并不害怕这几个超小型嗡嗡作响的玩具飞机。经过十几个小时试飞，拍摄到50多分钟高清录像，从不同的角度观测兀鹫，圆满完成野外观测工作。此一基金项目已经进行两年多，之前我们的考察（2014年2月9-12日，3月12日，4月21-24日），与当地向导在和静及和硕等地寻找巢穴失败，攀岩困难重重。显然，利用无人机拍摄，可以降低危险，从高空快速统计和获得窝结构、窝卵数、窝雏数、成活率、繁殖周期、幼鸟不同发育阶段等信息。对于大型食腐猛禽的保育和研究，减少干扰，这无疑是有价值的探索和尝试。途经和硕县的红山——过去的核试验基地（马兰），军事禁区，现在搞红色旅游，破败不堪啊。修建公路，放开采矿，生态旅游，过度放牧，盗猎者十分猖狂。
