I headed out to Naebo Park to see what changes in birds there were. A lot of Woodpeckers were out busily looking for grubs and other insects. It was nice to get out again after being inside my house for long periods of time. Jeff 🙂 TRIP DETAILS Trip...

Very causal and comfortable birding today with only 3 people showing for our Naebo Park outing. Perhaps the Sapporo snow festival or other things kept people away. A little cold, but not too bad. A light snow falling all around was quite beautiful actually. We saw 10 Black-eared kites...
