Birdwatching in Tama River (December 24, 2022)

 Although the number of birders decreased, there were still around 50 people.  According to a local birder, the male Bufflehead came closer yesterday, though he didn't come closer due to many birders.

Birdwatching in Shin-Yokohama Koen (December 28, 2021)

 Although my purpose to visit the park was photographing male Smew, I wasn't able to find it.  Instead of it, I accidentally, found a Dusky Warbler, which is a rare passage and winter migrant.
