Today, a Visitor Center course on “Bird-watching and Rikuman Kiyokawa” was held.
Although the snow that began yesterday and today’s rain and cold held down the number of participants, the course included detailed explanations by the instructor and received favorable comments at its conclusion.
The participants saw a total of 20 bird species, including Cyanoptila cyanomelana, Ficedula narcissina, Turdus chrysolaus, and Scolopax rusticola. They were particularly lucky to see the Scolopax rusticola, which are nocturnal but sometimes appear at dawn and dusk.
The next course will be on the “Kumoigahara Marshland” of the Aizan Gorge. It is scheduled for May 25.
Openings are still available, so please call to reserve one.
