2017年7月、オジロワシ。天然記念物。
純白の尾が特徴。岸壁の上昇気流に乗っては滑空する姿が優雅。
July 2017, White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), with its distinguished white tail.
One of the protected species in Japan. So graceful in riding
an updraft then gliding down along the cliffs.
2017年10月、コゲラと思っていたけれどもしかしたらコアカゲラの雌?
October 2017, I thought this was a pygmy woodpecker.
But this might be female lesser spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor).
2017年12月、アカモズ(だと思う)。絶滅危惧種。上面の頭上から尾までが
赤褐色、対して下面の喉から腹面は白い。モズらしい顔つきの黒い過眼線を 挟む
白い顔と白い眉斑がポイント。林道を一人歩きしていて何もいないなと見上げた途端
飛んできてくれた鳥。ちょこまか動かれてフレームに収めるのに四苦八苦。
December 2017, Most likely Brown Shrike (Lanes crostatas), bright rufous above,
with wider white frontal band merging with broad white supercilium, strongly
contrasting jet-black mask, orange-tinged below. One of the endangered species.
Walking through a bush alone and thinking there was not a bird in sight,
this one flew into my view. It was a hard task keeping him in the frame
while he zigzagged among the branches.
2018年2月、頭部に赤が見えたので多分アカゲラの雄。
February 2018, I glimpsed a red spot on the head, so this should be
male great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major).
おこぼれが大好きだそうでこれもハム工場近くにての撮影。
March 2018, Steller's sea eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus). One of the endangered species.
They like to pick up leftovers. This one was perched
on top of a tree near a ham processing factory.
