A daily record.
Featuring photos of wild birds and nature, mainly from Okinawa Main Island and Ishigaki Island

A two-shot of the second and third chicks. They flew right over my head. ^^

The eldest is a bit more wary. It's pestering the parent to bring food.

This one is also the eldest. It flies around the forest a lot. Doesn't seem to be practicing hunting yet.

The female Japanese Sparrowhawk parent. Striking bird. The male hasn't shown himself at all…. ^^;

Also a female. She is dismembering a Large Brown Cicada.

A Ryukyu Scops Owl chick peering out from the hollow. So cute! ^^

The first fledgling left the nest two days ago.

It kept popping in and out. ^^

Today's prey deliveries were mostly grasshoppers, cicadas, and bees. Earthworms just once.

Twelve feeding visits in two hours. The chick has a healthy appetite.

A male Ryukyu Scops Owl looking quite dignified with his ear-tufts upright.
