I went to check out the waxwings, hoping to see a yellow tail on February 25th. There were just 8 birds visiting the mistletoe and all were red...
Japanese Waxwings, ヒレンジャク
They didn't hang around long. In fact, I didn't even see them eating anything
On the little island were 2 Mandarin Ducks, オシドリ, a male and a female, fast asleep
They woke up briefly every now and then, but didn't move for many hours (I was told)
The Tufted Ducks, キンクロハジロ practiced synchronize swimming in small groups. They are so cute!
A sighting from a few days before, a Japanese Grosbeak, イカル in front of a Camelia tree.
Brown-eared Bulbul, ヒヨドリ taking a sip of nectar, duly spreading the pollen.
