リュウキュウアオバズク3羽巣立ち

6年ぐらい前に見つけたリュウキュウアオバズクの営巣は今年は3羽が巣立ちました。^^

息子と訪れると3羽のヒナたちがセンダンの木に並んでいました。フクロウ好きの息子もかなり嬉しそう。「ちいちゃい声で。しぃー」と口の前に人差し指を立てて、2歳児ながらアオバズクに気を使っているようでした。帰り際にはヒナたちに向かって「おいで、おいでー」と手招きしていた。^^

Three fledged Brown Hawk-Owl siblings. I've been watching this spot for six years, but this is the first time I've actually seen the fledging here. The timing has never worked out before… ^^;
