A brief birdwatching detour on a family trip to eastern Hokkaido

Feb. 12, 2023

A family trip to eastern Hokkaido, 3–7 February, four of us. I seized the few spare moments to do just a little birdwatching. The Rock Sandpiper I had been hoping to see was extremely distant, but I did get to see it. It was scope-distance only, so no photographs. I'll try again someday.
