ハイイロチュウヒ登場

今冬の石垣島は猛禽類の越冬が大変多いです。きょうのハイイロチュウヒのほかに チュウヒオオノスリ 、越冬3年目となる 暗色型サシバ 、チョウゲンボウ、 チョウセンチョウゲンボウ 、ハイタカ、オオタカ、ハヤブサなど。

留鳥のカンムリワシやリュウキュウツミ、ここ数年で数を増やしているカタグロトビいるので大変賑やかで楽しいですね。

A juvenile Hen Harrier appeared right in front of me out of nowhere. It flew off in an instant and this was all I could get… ^^;
