Mt. Imakuma

I went to Mt. Imakuma to look for summer birds.

I entered Mt. Imakuma around 7:00 AM and observed summer birds. Just like last week, there were many blue-and-white flycatchers and narcissus flycatchers.

White-cheeked Starling

It seems that the invasive white-cheeked starling inhabits Mt. Imakuma quite a bit. They seemed to be plentiful not only on the forest roads but also along the roads leading to the forest.

It was foraging beside the road before entering the forest.
