On Feb 22, people enthusiastically reported sightings of oriental white storks, a nationally protected wild animal, along the Songhua River in Songbei district, Harbin city.
 
In 2009, the global population of oriental white storks dwindled to just a few thousand, earning them the status of an endangered avian species. They are often referred to as the "national treasure of the bird world".
