Sparrows! In the last lingering cherry blossoms!

本日のお散歩野鳥たち

The elusive bush warbler・幻のウグイス
Black faced bunting ・アオジ
Common sandpiper ・イソシギ

I swear, bush warblers are the hardest common bird to photograph there is. The only bird I've had more trouble with is the kinglet, and they're relatively uncommon to boot.

Sparrow in the blossoms・スズメの花見
Japanese wagtail・セグロセキレイ

They're still dredging the river, so there aren't any kingfishers these days... Sad dad.

Took another sake train trip out to the mountains and managed to see my first mandarin ducks.
Lots and lots of them, in fact!

Crested Kingfisher Crab Party!
I witnessed a crested kingfisher catch and eat a crab on the Shimata river yesterday. I think I've got this bird's schedule down, now.
昨日はヤマセミのカニ食事を見えました。なんとなくだけど、この子のスケジュールを把握できてる感じがしてきました。

I went out with a local birdwatching group to the only Hooded crane nesting ground on Honshu and the birds were really out! We're spotted eight of the thirteen cranes nesting there this season.
