I headed out to Yoichi early in the morning; for a few hours to see what was along the river. I travelled from the bridge near Nikka Distillery towards the ocean and back up the other side. A very hot, yet windy day. I saw many Siberian Stonechats; one...

I took a chance and headed out in the late afternoon to Funahamacho; the specific spot that Naoaki had visited previously. I was on the hunt to see the Japanese Green Pigeon aka “White-bellied Green Pigeon”. I was there a while seeing Gulls and Carrion Crows. Just when I...

I had a chance to travel up to Jozankei, east of Sapporo. It is an onsen (hot springs) town. Many hotels are there along the river. I visited an eco-park, being used as a testing ground for an eco-bio/botany open space. This is where I found a few birds....
