26, 10:00 am - Cape Notoro Event  For our first birdwatching event of 2014 we were greeted by a snowstorm. But there were 27 of us there, including primary school students. It wasn't that cold, but the wind was quite strong and hit snow against our cheeks. It hurt but everyone seemed happy anyway. The snow made it hard to see the birds, and snow also stuck to the lenses of our binoculars and scopes. Eventually we could no longer even see the Harlequin Ducks that were directly below us. But still people were happy. One participant said, "It's meaningful to take part." We love people who love these things. Normally, this would be a good time to see drift ice, but yesterday's southerlies pushed the ice far to the north and there was only a little of it left at the shore (photo). It did not matter; we were just happy to be here. After an hour we headed back to our cars. Two Peregrine Falcons flew overhead as if to see us off. We applauded to them with appreciation. 2014 will be a good year. [from report] (A new-year lunch was held at Freppu Café after the event.)
