Coming around the corner, driving through the bend I stopped at the first possible moment to park the car. There was a field of Cormorants, lined up along the edge of the water. Wow, so many!

2 Spoonbills, Eurasian and Black-faced, ヘラサギ / クロツラヘラサギ, side by side
It is winter, but the sun is still warm during the day. The wintering ducks have all come; however, there are few on the mudflats. The small birds are few in number as well. I can hear Reed Buntings, I see them flying, but I have yet to see one perched in the reeds near the 2 ponds. Where is everybody?
A Cattle Egret, アマサギ in winter? Apparently
A bit dark, but that's why these birds are there. Always a lovely encounter!
Olive-backed Pipit, ビンズイ
I went to the city park, just to see what was there and if any birds would pose for me in any of the golden colored trees of autumn. And there was the flycatcher, arguing with a Redstart. It stood its ground well and joined other birds in search of food. It was amicable as well, letting us take lots of photos.
The warm autumn weather made it impossible to stay indoors. I postponed my PC jobs for the umptieth time, knowing I'd have to make up for it one day. But I didn't regret it. This post is about a visit to the big park downtown.
In the pond: Black-necked Grebe, ハジロカイツブリ
