アオバズク営巣
すでに3巣が巣立ちを終えていますが、こちらはまだ子育て中。コノハズクよりアオバズクの方が営巣開始にばらつきがある模様。
A male Brown Hawk-Owl.
I can only see its face — could it be incubating?

リュウキュウアオバズク巣立ち
先日 、親鳥も巣立ちビナも見つからなかった場所ですが、念のため見に行ってみるとヒナ2羽が元気に巣立っていました。先日の巣立ちビナは見つけられませんでした…。
ちょうど、近所の子どもたちもやってきたので見せてあげました。「かわいいー」だって。^^
A fledgling.
From the back left: male, juvenile. In the foreground, the female.

リュウキュウコノハズク巣立ち寸前
一度は、全身が見えるまで出てきましたが、親に餌をもらうとまた巣の奥に戻ってしまいました。^^
An Oriental Scops Owl chick just about to fledge. Adorable.
It keeps looking upward, clearly on edge about something above.
The gecko it brought was too large for the chick to eat.

リュウキュウコノハズク巣立ち間近
今夜か明日の夜には巣立っていくでしょう。ここのペアは毎年梅雨が明けるころ(6/23前後)に巣立ちます。^^
The male passes food to the female. He doesn't hand it over straight away, using it to encourage the chicks to fledge.
I confirmed two birds. Same as every year.
This is a different pair. Day by day the branch they perch on is getting lower.
