A daily journal.
Mainly introducing wild birds of Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, through photos.

フクロウ日和

きょうは、アオバズクから始まり、出だしはよかったのですが、コノハズクが鳴き声すらしない…。もうだめかなと思ったら、念願のコノハズクも見つかりました。^^

Brown Hawk-Owl

It was perched in a nice spot. ^^

Brown Hawk-Owl

A recently fledged crow had wandered into this Brown Hawk-Owl's territory, and the Brown Hawk-Owl engaged in an aerial battle against several crows. In the end, it drove all the crows away. Raptors really are feisty.

Brown Hawk-Owl

Brown Hawk-Owls really suit the color green. ^^

Elegant Scops Owl

I was almost ready to give up when I heard an Oriental Scops Owl calling!!

I searched in the direction of the call for a while but couldn't find it, and when I turned around to head home, it was right in front of me. ^^;

Ruddy Kingfisher

There was a Ruddy Kingfisher too.
