Northern goshawk, juvenileオオタカ,若鳥

This Juvenile northern goshawk seems not to be really hunting.

It seems to be trying in training for hunting, or just be the enjoying.

I have no idea what this young one action.

This seen had entered my sight that was the moment I stopped my car to look for other wild birds in the paddies field.　

The distance to the subjects is about 80 meters.

I have already installed on this blog many times about northern goshawk, but it is a

typical species of hawk in Japan. In Japan, from old-time to being now, speaking of hawks, it often refers to northern goshawk. In the Japan archipelago, it is distributed in the whole area except the Southwest and southern islands.

It did not almost come out of the woods until the 1980s,

Because of the protection activities of northern goshawk by humans, they became not afraid of humans and they have been come to entering the city.

In August 2017, the government has decided was made to cancel the law of "rare and wild animals" of the northern goshawk. (Quotes from Japanese description of the Wikipedia )
オオタカについては既にこのブログに何度もインストーしていますが、

オオタカは日本における鷹類の代表的な種です。日本では、古今、タカといえば、オオタカを指すことが多い。

日本列島では南西・南方諸島を除く全域に分布する。日本では、1980年代までめったなことでは森から出てこなかったが、野鳥の保護により人を怖がらなくなり街中に進出している。2017年8月には、「希少野生動植物」の解除が決定された。

It was heavy overcast this morning, but since I had witnessed the hunting of Northern goshawk since yesterday, I set up a camera in my car early in the morning. She started hunting after an hour and a half after setting the camera as expected. However, it was regrettable that the distance was far away though it encountered her after a long time.

The Northern goshawk was excluded from the Red List NT (Near threatened) of the Ministry of the Environment on September 21 this year because of its growing number of habitats. 

今朝は重い曇りであったが、昨日からオオタカのハンティングを目撃していたので、朝早くから車中でカメラを構えた。予想通りカメラをセットしてから1時間半後にハンティングを始めた。ただ、久しぶりにオオタカに遭遇したのに距離が遠く残念だった。

オオタカはその生息数が増加していることから環境省のレッドリストNT（Near threatened）から今年9月21日に除外された。

Though I think that she was captured if going to catch the target, as for her, there is not gravity.Probably is it simple "play" or "exercise"?

多分単なる”遊び”か”練習”か。　　　　　

 

 She stared fixedly at the intermediate egret of target.

She was looking for game at the top of this greenhouse first.

This is the second and final installment in a series.

I failed to take the shot the moment a northern goshawk captured northern pintail.　After this,

the goshawk is sinking  the pintail in the water and is making the pintail choke.
