Birdwatching in Oike Koen (March 5, 2023)

 A cloudy but warm day.  White's Thrush was so tame and easy to observe for long time.  A flock of Japanese Grosbeak, about 30 birds, were flying around the park entrance.  A female Ring-necked Duck was still present.

Birdwatching in Kyoto (January 30, 2023)

 In the last day of my trip to Osaka and Kyoto, I visited Kamo-gawa River and Kyoto Prefecture Botanical Garden before catching a train.  Although there were nothing special, it was a good birding to see Common Merganser, Gadwall, Long-billed Plover, Japanese Grosbeak and White's Thrush.
