Birdwatching in Rausu and Yoroushi, Hokkaido (January 19, 2025)

 From the boat cruise in Rausu.  No drifting ice but  many eagles.  A pair of Killer Whale, Orca, was a bonus!

Bird and Butterfly Watching in Oku-Nikko (September 1, 2023)

 My first birding in Tochigi, after moving to Kanuma.  Probably, some of the summer migrants have left.  So, the forest in the Nikko National Park was rather quiet.  Tits and nuthatches were active though they were hardly seen.
