Imazu in December part 1

It is winter, but the sun is still warm during the day. The wintering ducks have all come; however, there are few on the mudflats. The small birds are few in number as well. I can hear Reed Buntings, I see them flying, but I have yet to see one perched in the reeds near the 2 ponds. Where is everybody?


A Cattle Egret, アマサギ in winter? Apparently





Ms. Kestrel, チョウゲンボウ





Zitting Cisticola, セッカ early in the morning





Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ up in a tree!



The local gang of Oriental Magpies, カササギ





After sunset: Eurasian Woodcock, ヤマシギ
The funny colors are from the big lights above the baseball field





2 Raccoon dogs, タヌキ enjoying themselves
