Short-eared Owl, コミミズク

 The people who attended the WBSJ meeting in Imazu were in for a treat. At mid-morning a Short-eared Owl flew right in front of everybody and landed on a pole so we could have a good look. Lucky!

Short-eared Owl, コミミズク




Ears up!


It was soon chased off by a Kestrel

Other birds that were reported were Black-crowned Night Herons, ゴイサギ



and Bull-headed Shrikes, モズ with something that he pried off the branch with force.
Do Caterpillars have glue on their feet?



Numerous Kentish Plovers, シロチドリ were running up and down the mudflats. Boy, can they run!



There was a bright white pigeon sitting on top of a roof. It looked stunning, but I don't think it was a Barbary Dove, the white bird used in ceremonies.
