It's been about a week since the young bird left the park on the morning of August 8th (2017), but the young bird hasn't returned.
No one seems to have seen the young bird for a long time, and I have no idea where it has gone.
I'm sure they have finished fledging.
After successfully hunting Japanese pygmy woodpecker himself, it was almost impossible to call the parent bird "Pyo, Pyo, ...".
It seems that the range of activities is gradually expanding for several days before leaving the nest, and once I flew somewhere, it was hard to come back to the park.
It was hard to find because it almost stopped ringing aloud, and it was difficult to observe and shoot day by day.
It is a fledgling of young birds in such a situation.
It's sad that the young goshawks disappear, but I'm very happy about the success of the fledging.
Thank you everyone! I nested safely.
I hear that the breeding of goshawks in a city park, which is by no means large, was unprecedented and no one thought it would succeed at first.
It seems that it is a miracle that goshawks succeeded in breeding in such a small park.
People who stroll in the park are also worried about goshawks, such as "How was the goshawk today?", "I've only eaten cicadas for four days, sorry!"
Photographers, birdwatchers and neighbors were able to talk and talk.
I learned that there were people who greatly contributed to the understanding of the cameraman, the park management bureau, and the local residents, and I felt that this was a great factor in the success of the goshawk fledging.
Well, I hear that there were various conflicts, but if it's over, everything is fine! Is.
And before I knew it, something like a community surrounding goshawks was naturally created in the surrounding area. It seems to be the goshawk community that has been formed since the goshawks began mating in February, and many people are aware of the breeding history of this goshawk.
It seems that it is rare for rare birds to grow well in urban areas with the understanding of the residents so far, and I hope that it will become a model case for the protection of rare creatures in cities.
Facial expression of a young goshawk
During the observation, the young goshawk also showed such a playful appearance.
It was good until I caught the cicada,
When I was plucking the wings of a cicada, I slipped my hand (foot) and dropped the cicada.
"Ahhhhh !!! My cicadas are falling ~ !!!"
I think it's okay to eat the whole feather, but each time you take a lot of time to pluck the feather before you eat it.
Goshawk is a gourman who is particular about semi-food.
What was the expression you took after that?
I scratched my head
He also showed a dignified expression of a young young bird that I thought was just cute.
A crow approaches a young bird that has just finished bathing.
The wings are wet, so now is your chance to attack! The crow seems to have licked and approached.
The young bird, who had just bathed and whose feathers were not yet dry, knew the danger of the crow, or threatened the approaching crow and drove it away.
After bathing, threaten and drive away approaching crows
I heard that the mother bird was seriously injured when she was attacked by a crow soaked after bathing.
Such a memory may have remained in the mind of the young bird.
The crow who came toward me with such an expression cannot help running away.
Normally, the feathers were not wet, and the dignity was so high that the crows could be ignored.
Goshawk unmoved by crow harassment
This park was originally a breeding ground for crows, a place of relaxation, and for crows, goshawks wouldn't be annoying.
The crow harassed the goshawk if he had a chance and was trying to get rid of it.
Goshawks are barely affected by the harassment of crows, and the neglected crows seem to have lost their dignity.
Goshawks sometimes hunt and kill crows and eat them, so crows attack carefully several times.
However, because of the dignified aura of not being lonely, the crow stops giving out a little bit and flies away somewhere.
After the goshawks left the nest, the place returned to the crow's paradise for a short while.
The crows, who had regained paradise for a while, screamed "car, car," "gar," and "car," the joy of returning to freedom.
A goshawk who showed up almost every day until he left the nest and showed various facial expressions in front of him.
The goshawk, which was full of dignity and sometimes adorable, was watched by many people and loved very much.
After the young goshawks have left their nests somewhere, they all say they are lonely.
The goshawk that has left the nest, I want you to live strong somewhere.
And I hope they breed here again.
It was a short period of only one week for the caretaker, but I was very attached to the goshawk who showed various expressions through the viewfinder.
It was also a great harvest to meet various people through goshawks.
Let's see the next breeding from the beginning! I'm planning like that.
