リュウキュウツミ巣立ち
同じ木で今年も3羽のヒナが巣立ちました。^^
人間は怖くないけど、カラスは怖いみたいでした。^^;
This is the kind of thing they only do as chicks. ^^
Relaxed in belly-up style. ^^

リュウキュウアカショウビン子育て順調
午前中は餌を持ってくる回数が少ないです。
It brought in an Iriomote forest grasshopper. This grasshopper feeds on the leaves of Alocasia odora and such — I wonder if the toxins don't accumulate in its body?
There were several times it returned to the nest without food. Maybe it's encouraging them to fledge?

リュウキュウサンコウチョウ巣立ち
ツミが巣を襲撃した時 はどーなることかと思いましたが、3羽のヒナ全部巣立ちました。^^
卵から孵化して、たったの10日で巣立ちます。
Perched on the rim of the nest, on the verge of fledging.
It was time for me to leave for work, so I didn't get to see the last chick fledge.

リュウキュウコノハズク営巣とリュウキュウアオバズク巣立ち
竹富島で昨年見つけたアオバズク 営巣ポイントに行ったのですが、工事をしていてとてもじゃないけどアオバズクが営巣できる状態ではなかったです。でも、せっかく竹富島まで来たのでアオバズク探しをしたら、なんと、2時間でアオバズク3羽とコノハズク2羽を見つけることができました。^^
They appeared to be nesting in a hollow like this. When a crow came close — a fierce attack!!
Bird's-nest fern seemed to form the roof of the hollow. Quite a handsome hollow. ^^
About 5 metres from this hollow there was what appeared to be a pair of Ryukyu Scops Owls. I'd only brought a 200mm lens, so the undergrowth gave me a real hard time….
Female Brown Hawk-Owl?
This one is male?
This is a fledgling. The plumage is fluffy and the tail feathers are still short. ^^
