Peregrine falcon,juvenile ハヤブサ幼鳥

In Japan, it is a resident bird, classified as a Endangered Group II (VU:Vulnerable) by the Ministry of the Environment.

We four, on 9th June, went out to take pictures of wild birds to inhabit in the well-known mountain park valley among bird lovers, where is away from 180 km from my home.

But the spot of the target in the valley was dark, and the number of wild bird observations was only two kinds of, which was disappointed us. So, on my way home, we stopped by a nesting spot for a peregrine falcon.

There, we were able to take a lot of pictures of three juveniles birds waiting got the feed from their parents.

The height of this rock is 64 m and the distance to the target is about 70 m.

The focal length of the camera is 900 mm.

This rock is called kame-no- ko-no-iwa ,which mean a rock resembling a turtle.

Night heron,ゴイサギ

In Japan, they either come flying to Hokkaido in the summer (summer birds) or inhabit south of Honshu all year round (resident birds). Some of them move south in winter.
