台風後、公園のツミの親子
台風8号が過ぎ去った後の公園で、ツミの親子を見てきました。強風をやり過ごし、少し疲れている感じでしたが、元気よく親からクマゼミをもらっていました。
A Japanese Sparrowhawk fledgling that survived the typhoon.
It looked a little tired, but when a parent brought food, the siblings scrambled for it.
A Japanese Sparrowhawk chick pinning a large brown cicada underfoot and eating it.
Even as a chick, a remarkably sharp gaze.
The female Japanese Sparrowhawk. She didn't seem to spot cicadas sitting still, but when a passer-by startled one into flight she snatched it out of the air.
A Japanese Sparrowhawk eating a large brown cicada. It ate half and gave the rest to the chick.
When a strong gust hit, the chicks would hunker down and hold on.
