Winter has arrived

It's cold! After my stay with family in tropical Indonesia it's hard to get acclimated again. I left the colorful birds and butterflies of Bali and got a grey world in return. Brrr. First thing I realized is that I missed out on the geese, particularly the Snow Goose that came to Imazu. I drove around aimlessly to see what was left.


2 Eastern Buzzards, ノスリ hunting together





Great Crested Grebes, カンムリカイツブリ at the 2 ponds







2 Black-crowned Nightherons, ゴイサギ along the creek



A few Baikal Teals, トモエガモ hidden in the reeds



Black-necked Grebe, ハジロカイツブリ - Glad to see your red eyes.



2 (again!) Greenshanks, アオアシシギ chasing each other up and down the creek.



Smews, ミコアイサ  2 males and 5 females







3 more females at another pond.



At the entrance to M river, a decent sized flock of Lesser Scaups, スズガモ





Among the a group of Eurasian Coots, オオバン - 48 birds. Were there ever that many before?
