"The story of a goshawk, a bird of prey that has advanced into the city"
This blog introduces the life of a goshawk, a wild drama that unfolded in front of the caretaker in an urban park from July 2017 to December 2018.
A new day begins today with all three birds
■
Young birds that began to fly from the branches of trees around the nest.
The range of action has expanded to hundreds, thousands, and even more.
Anyway, even if you look at it, almost everything you touch is the first one.
You will learn various things while touching various things yourself and accumulating experience.
Flying in the sky is like watching a parent bird at the beginning.
After taking the first step with courage and entrusting the body to the air, everything moves the wings as the body feels, twisting the body, putting in and pulling out, everything about how to fly is the body Learn by yourself with the instinct that you have.
The first day of flying, the way of flying is still uncomfortable July 4th
If you fly in the sky, you must land. Landing is still inexperienced for the three young birds.
The three young birds will learn various things about the landing place while gaining experience while landing at various places.
The city is full of artificial objects such as electric wires, iron pillars, park playsets, metal railings, and concrete. In fact, there are more man-made objects than natural objects.
An urban goshawk that grows while touching various things in such a city. The content of learning will be quite different from the goshawks that grow in the natural forest.
Urban goshawks may make a fool of rural (natural) goshawks by saying, "Why don't you even know how to stop a stainless steel railing!" Or will you politely tell me, "Carefully stop like this, be careful because you can also fly away!"
It's slippery and difficult to balance here
Artificial objects are quite different from natural tree branches and stones.
Thin electric wires swing back and forth and are not stable, and bare metal railings slide well.
I will capture how to stop one by one.
In the dark hours before sunrise, a young bird stopped on a thin electric wire.
I made a GIF image of a picture of a goshawk struggling with the electric wire introduced last time.
I think you can see how hard it was. At this time, I hung around on the electric wire for almost two minutes. It must have landed on the electric wire for the first time.
The brothers, who were watching the situation nearby, did not stop at the same place, perhaps because they realized that it was dangerous.
"You shouldn't stop thin wires."
Sisters taking off with "Se-no!"
A young goshawk that has begun to fly, everything is of interest, and the two sisters are usually together.
Is it more fun to have the eldest son alone? Or are you out of the group and left behind by your sisters?
I rarely stay with my sisters.
Here and there, it's still only around the nest, but after flying around for a while, my stomach becomes hungry and I get tired.
Take a break near the tree where the nest was.
Originally born and raised in a forest with a nest, this place is the most relaxing place.
When tired or hungry, the brothers usually get together and take a break here.
The caretaker thinks that the middle is the eldest daughter, the upper is the second daughter, and the lower is the eldest son.
Usually, it is the eldest daughter who has a big body to take action for the first time, and the two birds always observe and imitate the action.
The two brothers always observe the behavior of their eldest daughter. "What are you going to do next time?"
"I'm hungry-I wonder if I have rice yet"
Three young birds that experience various things while playing and become stronger day by day, but in order to be able to hunt, we still have to learn a lot.
Parent birds still have to devote themselves to hunting to fill the stomachs of their appetizing children.
