Bird Food

 For birds, summer is a hunting season.

Osprey like to hunt over the water with their sharp eyes.  Quite often it catches a big fish.

"Look at this big catch."

A Song Sparrow likes to find a bug in the air.  What is it?

"I don't know, but it tastes good."

A Western Grebe dives into the water to catch a fish or two.

"Right now, I am so full that I just enjoy the calm water early in the morning,"

More Waterfowls

At the reservoirs, I found just one Western Grebe amongst other ducks.

"Hi, I am all by myself today.  I am quite independent."

"We are Green-winged Teals."

Up high I saw one Double-crested Cormorant.

"You might have seen us in "鵜飼(Ukai)"
which is an ancient way of catching fish."
