    Abstract:

    A survey about the feeding sites and food abundance of feralized Crested Ibis (Nipponia nippon) was carried out from September to November in autumn 2008 in Ningshan Shaanxi by using plot methods.The result showed that the paddy fields are main feeding sites of crested ibis.The factors that affected the food site selection were human disturbance,the degree of width and softness of soil.36 species were collected and identified in the feeding sites,and field furrowing had no significant effect on food abundance and food biomass.In general,the food was not abundant for crested ibis in autumn wandering stage in the area.
