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...

Otaru group trip to Hariusu. I was surprised that where we went actually led down to the beach next to Ebisu Island! I have been waiting for the chance to find out how everyone was getting down there. From meeting at the elementary School, we crossed Route 5, and...

Today was the day for our annual barbecue at Ranshima Beach. Of course, I had to bring my binoculars and 1 camera. A very fun barbecue. Naoaki was there too, so we spent some time birding between barbecuing.

After spending awhile out at Cape Shukutsu, headed for Cape Kayashiba. A family was fishing. There was a Cormorant hanging out on an outcrop at the tip of the cape with the gulls. As well, I watched an Osprey circling for quite awhile. Spectacular to see.
