Red crossbill,イスカ

I heard that Red crossbill, who I have never seen or photographed, is on the coast of the prefecture, and the next day, at 4:30 in the early morning, I headed to my destination 100 km away with my four friends. The site is a hilly forest with open black pine trees. A dozen people were already set up their cameras.. I waited for about 4 hours, and a Red crossbill stopped at the dead branch of a black pine on the ridgeline about 200m away. After that, a flock of about 10 birds stopped at the black pine, but it's too far!

Since I installed images here is too far away, So, Wikipedia and free images that are not copyrighted have also been uploaded.

Red crossbill is widely distributed in Europe, northern Asia, and North America. It mainly arrives in Japan as a winter bird, but the number of arrivals varies from year to year. A small number of them breed in the mountains of Hokkaido and Honshu. (Quoted from Wikipedia)
