道東へ家族旅行で少しだけ鳥見
2月3日から2月7日の日程で家族4人で道東旅行。そのわずかな隙を突いて、ほんの少しだけ鳥見。お目当てのチシマシギはめちゃくちゃ遠くでしたが、見ることができました。スコープの距離なので写真はなし。いつか再挑戦します。
Adult White-tailed Eagle with Kunashir Island in the background.
Adult Steller's Sea Eagle at the Notsuke Peninsula.
Juvenile White-tailed Eagle on ice that had collected inside the harbour.
Young White-tailed Eagle. 4W perhaps.
Adult White-tailed Eagle.
Adult male Red-breasted Merganser.
It was out at sea, but a Common Merganser. Male, 1st-winter.
Adult male Harlequin Duck.
A female Harlequin Duck floating in the fishing harbour.
There were plenty of Greater Scaup too. They're in the rarity category for Okinawa.
I spotted a cormorant flock and thought I'd see if there were any Pelagic Cormorants among them — but they were all Pelagic Cormorants. They seem to be using it as a roost; there were nearly 200 birds.
A Whooper Swan on an unremarkable stretch of coast. It came right up to me, so it's probably been fed by people. ^^;
There were a few juveniles as well.
Hokkaido Sika Deer were everywhere. The males and females seemed to be in separate groups.
