Flocks of rare migratory birds -- including Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed sea eagles -- have recently been seen at the Jingxin Wetland in Hunchun city, in Northeast China's Jilin province.

Covering an area of more than 5,800 hectares, Jingxin Wetland is one of the key wetlands in Jilin province.

Each spring, a large number of rare birds fly to the wetland where they rest and forage for food, including Steller's sea eagles, white-tailed sea eagles, vultures and wild geese.

Steller's sea eagles and white-tailed sea eagles are national protected animals and Steller's sea eagles are especially rare, attracting photographers from all over the country in recent years.

This spring, due to the current epidemic in the country, no photographers gathered at Jingxin Wetland.

Experts said that as the temperature rises, the wetland will welcome red-crowned cranes, swans and other rare migratory birds.
