초록

멸종위기종 황새의 보존와 복원 계획을 진행하는 과정에서 황새의 섭식행동과 서식지 환경을 이해하기 위하여 연구를 시작하였다. 이를 위하여 충북 청원군 미원면 화원리에 있는 산지형 습지 일부에 울타리를 치고 황새 암수의 한 쪽 날개의 첫째날개깃 일부를 잘라 방사하여, 6월 16일부터 7월 11일까지 25일간 일일 그리고 시간에 따른 섭식 행동 변화, 먹이 종류 및 양, 먹이 서식지 선택을 관찰하였다. 황새 암수의 하루 중 시간에 따른 섭식 시간과 휴식 시간은 이차함수적인 관계를 보여주었으나 이런 경향성은 25일간에 걸쳐 암수 간 큰 차이를 보여주지 않았다. 또한 황새는 다른 유형의 서식지 및 같은 유형의 연구지역 끝 쪽에 위치한 습지(습지 2)보다 연구지역 중간에 있는 습지 (습지 1)를 더 많이 이용하였다. 습지 1에 대한 이용 정도는 25일간 큰 변화를 보이지 않았으나 두 번째로 많이 이용된 논은 연구 기간 후반부로 갈수록 줄어들었고 반면에 습지 2와 통로의 이용 정도는 후반부로 갈수록 증가하였다. 암컷은 수컷보다 섭식에 보다 많은 시간 소비하였으나 섭식효율성은 암수 간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 추후 서식지 조성 및 관리적 측면에서 황새의 섭식행동과 생태에 대한 의의를 논의에서 다루었다.

As a step toward developing conservation and restoration plans for an endangered species of the Oriental White Stork (Ciconia boyciana), we studied daily foraging behavior and ecology. We released two individuals, male and female, after enclosing study site with a fence and cutting out a part of two or three feathers of primaries. Research was conducted from 16 June to 11 July, 2007 for 25 days at Whawonri, Mewonmyung, Chungbuk province. We investigated diural and daily variation of foraging time budget, diet composition, and habitat selection of the feeding individuals. The storks quadratically invested for foraging time and resting time according to time of day, but no significant variation in the foraging time and resting time appeared daily over 25 days. As a result, the storks mainly used wetland as a foraging site in the center of the study area to that in the edge as well as to other types of habitat. The high usage for wetland in the center did not change over the 25 days while Rice field decreased and Wetland in the edge and Pathway increased. Female invested more time for foraging than male, but the foraging efficiency did not differ between them. We discussed the significance of foraging behavior and habitat selection for management plan.
