Birdwatching in Oike Koen (February 6, 2011)

  As I expected "Chinese Grosbeak fever" may have finished, I visited the park to take pictures of White's Thrush.  Although hundereds of people visit the park for jogging, A White's Thrush turned up within 30 minutes.  Accordingly a local birdwatcher, there are not only one thrush but also at least 3 or 4 thrushes. 

  Around 9:30 A.M,, while I was waiting for a thrush starts feeding, the other thrush flew in and chased the former one.  Yes, actually, at least two!

  After spending two hours for photographing the thrush, I briefly saw a small family of Grey Buntings.  The party strangely consists of only immature and mature males.
