今季2羽目のアメリカウズラシギ、タゲリ、カンムリワシほか(動画あり)

昨日 に続き、今季2羽目のアメリカウズラシギを発見しました。今回はいい条件で観察、撮影することができました。

今季初となるタゲリは10羽ほどの群れで、全てが幼鳥でした。石垣島でこの時期に見られるタゲリはほとんど幼鳥です。

写真は撮れませんでしたが、ベニバトやセジロタヒバリ、ヒバリなども確認できました。

Common Kestrels and Peregrine Falcons have been increasing in number too. Every time a raptor flies through, the wagtail flocks get shuffled around. ^^;
