子育て順調リュウキュウコノハズク
3巣のコノハズクを見てきました。どこも順調に子育てが進んでいるようです。ついでに、新しい巣も見つけました。石垣島のコノハズクの密度は思った以上に濃そうだ。^^
A female Oriental Scops Owl watching her chick.
Crows are also nesting nearby, and the male Oriental Scops Owl attacks every time the parent crow brings food to its chick. ^^;
The female waits at the entrance of the nest hole.
The Oriental Scops Owls at the fishing port have become hard to find with all the foliage grown in, but I managed to spot them.
There was another one just a few metres from the owl above. When one started calling, the other called back as if in reply. Territorial display, I'd say.
The foliage here was too thick and this was the best I could get…. ^^;
The chicks here also seem to be growing well — the parent had been pushed out of the nest hole. ^^
