カタグロトビ2カ所で巣立ち(動画あり)

2カ所で合わせて4羽のカタグロトビの巣立ちを確認しました。自宅近くで巣立った2羽は、2日ほど前に姿を現すようになり、虹彩はまだ真っ黒です。

もう一カ所の2羽は、すでに親元を離れてきょうだい2羽で行動しています。虹彩の色も黒から少しだけ色が付いてきていました。

リュウキュウコノハズク、リュウキュウアオバズクはまだ抱卵中ですが、順調に進んでいるようです。

There is quite a distance between us, but I felt these birds were more wary than the two juveniles above.
