在美國加州南部,一隻貝氏鶯雀在一個道路工程工區域內築巢,所以工程必須暫停,直到貝氏鶯雀的繁殖期於九月完結並遷徙。這工程原定於八月完工,但現在亦延期至明年二月才能完成。貝氏鶯雀是一種身長只有4-5英寸的小型雀鳥,於1980年被列為瀕危物種,至今仍受到保護。
A trail construction in Southern California has to stop temporarily because an endangered least bell’s vireo bird has arrived and nesting within the site area. the site is expected to stop until September when the bird’s breeding season ends and migrate. The construction was expected to be finished in August, but now has to delay and won’t be completed until next February. Least Bell’s vireo is a small bird which is just 4-5 inches long; it was listed as endangered since 1980 and still under protection.
