ズグロミゾゴイ、クイナ、コホオアカ、ムネアカタヒバリなど(動画あり)

林道でズグロミゾゴイの幼鳥に遭遇。座って見ているとこちらへ寄ってきて2メートルほど横を通り過ぎました。ズグロミゾゴイは警戒心の弱い個体が多いです。

越冬中のクイナに最近、よく会います。この日は、バンやタシギの群れていました。

田んぼにはムネアカタヒバリ、コホオアカ、ハクセキレイなどが多くいます。シベリアジュリン、ノゴマ、ミヤマホオジロ、キマユホオジロも滞在中ですが藪の中にいて姿を見るには、なかなか根気が入ります。

ツグミが再び増えてきました。シロハラ、アカハラ、トラツグミもいますが、こちらも根気がないと写真には収められませんね。^^;

Malayan Night Heron

A juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron. It shows so little wariness that I worry about feral cat predation.

It passed right by me.

Brown-cheeked Rail

A Common Moorhen and a Slaty-legged Crake. It felt smaller than the moorhen and larger than a Common Snipe.

A Slaty-legged Crake preening. It is quite wary, but if you wait, you can see it.

Little Bunting

This season I am seeing Little Buntings everywhere, too many to count.

Red-throated Pipit

A Red-throated Pipit is also wintering here.

White Wagtail

Among the wagtails, White Wagtail may be the least common. The most numerous is, of course, Eastern Yellow Wagtail.

Dusky Thrush

A good number of Dusky Thrushes seemed to pass through in November, but come January they started appearing again.
