コハクチョウ飛来とクロツラヘラサギのねぐら

昨日からコハクチョウが滞在中。警戒心のない個体でとなりでトラクターが走ってても全く気にしていませんでした。散歩の人などにも無反応。コハクチョウの餌があるのか心配です。

石垣島には現在、サカツラガン5羽の群れとヒシクイ、オオヒシクイ、マガン合わせて12羽の群れが滞在中なのでどちらかに合流すると安心なのですが…。

クロツラヘラサギは5羽がマングローブ内で休んでいました。今冬はここが彼らのねぐらのようです。

A juvenile hatched this year. Under normal circumstances it would spend the time with its family until the spring migration next year, but it must have become separated for some reason.
