Misfortunes in the mountains, part 2

Continuing my walk around the Mt Kuju area my luck improved a little at the end of the afternoon, when a small flock of Thrushes landed not too far from me. I was pleased to see them with some autumn colors in the back 

Eyebrowed Thrushes, マミチャジナイ

Red Underwing, エゾベニシタバ

But then, at the river I JUST missed the Crested Kingfisher, ヤマセミ 😢

All that was left were 2 Brown Dippers, カワガラス

Another Mayumi tree with red berries. マユミ, Hamilton's Spindletree. Spectacular!

The noisy calls of a Chinese Hwamei, ガビチョウ betrayed its hiding spot. It came out briefly, but... I missed it. 😢

Heading to a look-out point for the sunset, but the dramatic colors of the day before were not repeated

In the far distance: Shika Deer, シカ

That's how it is, sometimes. We cannot always be lucky. Time for a bath.
