It had been a little while since I had been out to Yoichi. Nice weather, though a little hot. More people hanging out in Yoichi itself than I imagined. I saw more birds than I had thought to see. It turned out to be a rather good trip. At...

Went out early to Yoichi on a very hot day. Saw a good number of Great Cormorants, and other birds. Too hot to make it clear out the the section of beach in Yoichi closer to Ranshima. I did get the bus schedules and checked access to that area...

I got to visit a great park – Kasai Rinkai Park, next to Tokyo Disneyland. I was surprised to find a bird sanctuary there and many birders. It was quite a hot this day. Not too many varieties of birds out in the afternoon. It seemed as more birders...

I went to Yoichi to explore the river further and see what more I could find out about the birds that regularly hung out there in the spring. One of my favorite places to relax and watch birds.

I returned to the Yoichi River area again. Some of the same birds, but several new ones were there. I did finally see a White-backed Woodpecker through my binoculars. It was just as surprised looking at me, as I was at it at the same moment. Haha, as I...
