 Sunny day with relatively warm weather.  It was so productive while I could cover almost all species, which may be seen in the three parks.

Birdwatching in Tama-gawa River (January 30, 2011)

Long-eared Owls were still there.  Three of them were sitting in a willow tree.  However, I wondered where the rest of four?  I found tree branches were cut by someone.  For photographing?  It is really pity if it is so....

Birdwatching in Samukawa Town (January 16, 2011)

Before attending a meeting, I visited a small park, nearby Miyayama station, Samukawa Town.  My target was Long-eared Owl, what I missed a few weeks ago.  It's so strange to see a group of Long-eared Owl (totally seven) was roosting in a camphor tree in such a small children's playground.  The owls didn't wake up unless an owl was preening shortly.

Looks smiling...
