Sciurus vulgaris orientis

When taking a walk in a woods, I met “Sciurus vulgaris orientis”.
I followed him with my eyes, I lost sight of him.

But I got him!!!!
He just hid behind the leaves.
He became a tree.

It is obvious.
I lighted its funny style.
But it feels warm inside when going field and seeing nature,

Shall we go out from crowded space and take a deep breath to refresh?

Publication of a Visitor Center Report

This month’s cover is “Lepus timidus ainu in molting season”
She dashed at the field.

And more, very cute “Aegithalos caudatus” is making his nest.
“Loxia curvirostra” is very difficult to find.
“Vulpes vulpes schrencki” is sick of “scabies”.

Please check from the top page of homepage.
And watch and laugh!

The snow continues to melt.

As the temperature is rising, snow is melting quickly.
At a glance, snow covered areas are decreasing, we can see a lot of mountain surfaces.
But amount of snow at 7th station of Mt,Kuodake is more than last year’s.
It depends on climate, this year will have a lot of snow left in summer.

Soon breeding period comes.
For “Tetrastes bonasia” fox is natural enemy recently.
A number of “Tetrastes bonasia” is decreasing because of changing in the natural environment (global warming)
