都会のサンコウチョウ子育て

都会の真ん中でサンコウチョウが営巣中。ヒナは2羽は確認できました。通常であれが4羽はいるでしょう。巣立ちまであと数日。野良猫がたくさんいるので、捕食されないか巣立った後が心配です。マングースもたまに見ますが、猫がいるところへはやってこないのでやはり、脅威は野良猫。^^;

時間がなく、親鳥が餌を運ぶところは見られませんでした。明日は、休日なので早い時間から見てこよう。^^

Japanese Paradise Flycatcher
Japanese Paradise Flycatcher

The afternoon sun was hitting the Japanese Paradise Flycatcher nest full on. It was late in the day, so feeding time may have been over. I wasn't there long enough to confirm.
