山の方 - a morning in the mountains part 1

The last day of April and it's crowded. Summer birds are everywhere. They have just arrived and are not yet settled in their territories, many still looking for a partner. Every one is calling, chattering, singing, it's a real party.

Narcissus Flycatcher, キビタキ

Virtually no trimming. This guy was so curious, I nearly expected him to land on the camera.

Lots of flowers too, like these insect eaters on the right and below

Blue-and-white Flycatcher, オオルリ

Very pretty small stuff.

Japanese Thrush, クロツグミ
