擬態上手
リュウキュウコノハズクうまく隠れます。
Backlit again… ^^; I wonder if it is deliberately hiding with that in mind.

きょうは、アオバズクから始まり、出だしはよかったのですが、コノハズクが鳴き声すらしない…。もうだめかなと思ったら、念願のコノハズクも見つかりました。^^
It was perched in a nice spot. ^^
A recently fledged crow had wandered into this Brown Hawk-Owl's territory, and the Brown Hawk-Owl engaged in an aerial battle against several crows. In the end, it drove all the crows away. Raptors really are feisty.
Brown Hawk-Owls really suit the color green. ^^
I was almost ready to give up when I heard an Oriental Scops Owl calling!!
I searched in the direction of the call for a while but couldn't find it, and when I turned around to head home, it was right in front of me. ^^;
There was a Ruddy Kingfisher too.

アオスジコシブトハナバチのねぐら
夕方になるとアオスジコシブトハナバチが枝などに鈴なりになって寝ます。まるっこくてかわいらしいハチです。
About 20 individuals had gathered on this branch. ^^
It is gripping the branch firmly with its mandibles. What a metallic-looking face.

アオバズクとリュウキュウコノハズク
北部に昼飯を食いにいったついでに撮ってきました。^^
Those glass-clear, transparent eyes are beautiful. ^^
The rain stopped, so the Oriental Scops Owl came out too. ^^
There was another one, but it was in a state where only its backside was sticking out through the gaps in the Barringtonia racemosa leaves.

漁港のリュウキュウコノハズク
漁港の防風林を探索していたら、後ろからコノハズクが通りすぎました。きっと近くで営巣しているのでしょう。^^
慌ててカメラと三脚を車から取ってきたので、脈動でカメラがぶれる…。^^;
It is calling while looking upward.
It flew!! The Oriental Scops Owl has wings that are surprisingly long and supple for its body size. ^^
It is hiding among the leaves of Barringtonia racemosa, but it gets found out because the Warbling White-eyes mob it.
