Pied Avocet, Pin-tailed Snipe, Swinhoe's Snipe and Others

A Pied Avocet has been staying for several days. I feel like I see them year-round on Ishigaki-jima — there must be wintering individuals in Okinawa and the Yaeyamas.

Pin-tailed Snipe was a good year, but most have moved on and they take some finding now. I managed to confirm number 20. Swinhoe's Snipe are plentiful.

Pied Avocet appeared in the rice paddies.
