リュウキュウアオバズクとリュウキュウコノハズク営巣
今日は、旧暦の5月4日のユッカヌヒーでハーリー大会がありました。とても暑い一日で、林道を少し歩くだけで汗だくでした…。アオバズク、コノハズク、アカショウビン、サンコウチョウなど順調に子育てが進んでいます。
This was my first time seeing the female Ryukyu Scops Owl at this nest. The chicks at all the nesting sites have grown large and are being pushed out. The male of this pair is a strongly rufous individual, so telling them apart is easy.
The Brown Hawk-Owl was keeping watch from a slightly different tree than usual. This is my first observation of this pair this season, so I have no idea how many days until fledging — birding friends and I are checking every day.
The female Ryukyu Scops Owl that had been pushed out of the nest yesterday was in the same spot today.
