GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
We'll drive you around Ishigaki Island to wherever the birds are showing best that day. Observation is mostly from inside the vehicle, and we keep it to a maximum of 3 guests so everyone can take their time.
昨日、巣立ってしまったみたいです。今日だと思って休みとったのになー。^^;
Thanks for all the hard work raising the chicks. ^^
It ate the prey itself instead of bringing it to the chicks.
Another fine day today.
来週ぐらいには、ヒナが巣から顔出したりしないかなー。^^
A Ryukyu Scops Owl nesting in a nicely atmospheric tree hollow. ^^
猛烈な台風を無事に乗り切ったようです。^^
It received a Tsuma-guro cicada. ^^ The parent bird is visible on the far right.
Swallowed whole!!
It seemed it hadn't slept much due to the typhoon overnight, and was nodding off frequently. ^^;
The primary feathers are still quite short.
Parent bird.
ヒナが大きくなって、下から追い出されるのでしょうか…?
A Ryukyu Scops Owl blending in perfectly with the tree. ^^
Being daytime, its ear tufts are standing straight up.
営巣は終わったはずなのに、嘴がずいぶん汚れてる。
There seemed to be prey in the direction it was looking, and shortly after it flew off somewhere.
