Recently, 4 to 6 yellow-breasted buntings (Emberiza aureola) were observed in phase II of the Songzhuang flood storage and detention area. This discovery not only represents the biodiversity of this region, but also reflects the continuous improvement of the ecological environment in the second-phase flood storage zone.
