Winter weekend in the mountains

 I hoped to find some more snow birds, but the snow was either dirty or just gone by the time I got there. On a sunny day it felt like spring.


My usual encounter: Eurasian Nuthatch, ゴジュウカラ



In my favorite up-side-down pose



Deer were calling. A male came very close. If only there weren't that many branches 😁😁😁



None of the birds came down to feed on the ground; all stayed high up in the trees. 
Coal Tit, ヒガラ






My neck hurts!

Frosty edges in the morning





Back to Fukuoka via the Mikuma River. There was a nice variety of ducks. Below Gadwalls, オカヨシガモ blending in with the wintery water colors



A dash visit of a Crested Kingfisher, ヤマセミ



Brown Dipper, カワガラス seemingly looking for nesting materials



Does this statue remind you of something? 



A short stop to see there were no storks in the regular pond. I watched the 10+ Spoonbills for a while.
Black-faced Spoonbills, クロツラヘラサギ


What happened there?



Eurasian Spoonbills, ヘラサギ




Spring is coming!
