今季初エゾビタキ、5羽目のカンムリワシ幼鳥、まだいたアカエリヒレアシシギ

今季初となるエゾビタキを確認しました。この鳥を見ると秋の深まりを感じますねー。

カンムリワシは今季、4羽目と5羽目を確認。4羽目は警戒心が強めで写真が撮れませんでした。^^;

先日のアカエリヒレアシシギはまだ滞在中。チュウジシギは畔にぼちぼち、タシギはかなり増えてきました。

田んぼには、アオアシシギ、コアオアシシギ、アカアシシギ、タカブシギ、セイタカシギ、ヒバリシギ、トウネンなどがそこそこいます。

Crested Serpent Eagle

The fifth Crested Serpent Eagle juvenile of the season. Breeding seems to have gone smoothly, with no typhoon impact.

Crested Serpent Eagle

It was perched in a Chinese hackberry tree overlooking the rice paddies. The bill and tail feathers were muddy — it appears to be hunting on its own.

Red-necked Phalarope

The Red-necked Phalarope is still present. It moves around between the rice stalks, making for tricky shooting.
