October birds

After the 2 typhoons and the temperatures still so high, you wonder what time of the year it is, but migrators have come and moved on, it definitely is October. In Imazu I ran into a group of birds, or did they run - fly into me?

Terek Sandpiper, ソリハシシギ

Great Cormorants, カワウ on the hunt. But the fish was too big - he had to let it go

The Black-browed Reed Warbler, コヨシキリ was heard again, but it or they would not come out

At the Ura farm things were a little quiet. Just a few birds like Wood Sandpipers, タカブシギ

About 10 or 12 birds walked in and out of sight

Red-necked Stints, トウネン Maybe 6

2 Ruffs, エリマキシギ I think both female

1 bird that I had down as a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, ウズラシギ but it looked different and so it was...

Pectoral Sandpiper, アメリカウズラシギ 

Do I see a pectoral line on that breast?

When the tide was high another bird started appeared.  Far Eastern Curlew, ホウロクシギ
