Mt Kuju, part 1

In the 3rd week of April, we had a break from our busy schedules and fled to the mountains. Despite the rain we did what we liked. Jaap hiked his favorite trail and I came back with these results


A curious yellow Flycatcher came to check me out. It stayed for a few minutes.

Narcissus Flycatcher, キビタキ







Mr. Kurotsugumi could be heard from a mile away.
Japanese Thrush, クロツグミ





At the wetlands various summer visitors were getting ready to produce babies
Chestnut-eared Bunting, ホオアカ in an unusual spot





He went down to the grassy field, where his lady was waiting.



Present?



Flowers in the wetlands: Japanese Primrose, サクラソウ  



In the woods behind the marsh, Shika deer, シカ were quietly feeding. They were not very concerned with me watching them from the trail.



I looked for fawns, but the smallest deer was probably last year's





Always around, but recently difficult to capture, Eurasian Jay, カケス





On the forest floor, where the moss is bright, small delicate flowers pop up.
False Starwort, ワダソウ
