Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (October 14, 2012)

Autumn has come in Yokohama.  A flock of Hawfinch is flying above the forest in Maioka Koen while Bull-headed Shrikes are calling top of trees.  Highlights were flycatchers.  Several Narcissus Flycatchers and Grey-spotted Flycatchers were calling and seen in the forest.  Some bird watchers even saw immature male Blue-and-White Flycatcher and a male Narcissus Flycatcher.
