I just discovered it is National Bird Day today! Here's a photo of an Oriental Greenfinch, taken along the Shukugawa river in Nishinomiya, Japan.

A Short-tailed Shearwater from Rausu, Hokkaido, Japan. Dad and I went out on a whale watching trip with our guide. Didn't see any whales, but did see somewhere around 10-50k Short-tailed Shearwaters. Incredible numbers, more seabirds than I've ever seen.

A Black-tailed Gull from Miyakejima, Japan. A very abundant species in the area, but still a really nice bird when seen well! Gulls get too little love.

An Izu Robin from Miyakejima, Japan. I've kinda fallen in love with island endemics--made a trip to Japan almost entirely for the purposes of seeing these and the other endemics on Miyake.

Miyake was awesome: rainy, chill little island with nice people and great birds.

Dusky Thrush - #Tokyo #birdsofjapan #japan - finally getting around to posting pictures of trip there in late January! This is one of the new species I saw. A winter visitor like the Redwing is to our shores. @toritorihkd.bsky.social for you

A Japanese Accentor from Lake Miyagase, Kanagawa, Japan. One of several Accentors I saw on my trip to Nepal and Tokyo last January. Near-endemic to Japan and a really nice bird to find!

A Chinese Hwamei from Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan. This in an introduced species in Japan (and in Taiwan and a few other places), but this was still a life bird for me. They are a laughingthrush, which are one of my favorite taxa of birds.
