アオバズク間も無く巣立ち

アオバズクのヒナは、今夜か明日の夜には巣立ちしそうです。少なくとも2羽は外から見えました。

帰りに標高200メートルぐらいの山に登ってみたら、アカショウビンの鳴き声がよく聞こえ、巣も見つかりましたが、ブラインドとカメラを持って登る気にはなれませんでした…。麓の公園でリュウキュウコゲラを撮っただけ。^^;

Brown Hawk-Owl

Through a crack in the nest I could see two chicks moving about. One seemed to notice me and watched for a while with a curious look, then turned its back and started wriggling again. Can't wait to get out, I wonder?

Ryukyu Pygmy Woodpecker

Ryukyu Pygmy Woodpecker, male. It came right up close and was tapping away at a branch.
