23, 1:00 pm - This event was originally planned for Heiwa Bridge at the eastern end of Tofutsu Lake. It's known that many Stellar's Sea-Eagles and White-tailed Sea-Eagles gather in that area as the ice on the lake melts, and that was our aim for this event. This usually happens during the latter half of March, but the ice has been melting later in recent years. It was late last year, and this year it is even later. So at the last minute we changed the place to Swan Park at the western end of the lake. We apologize to those who did not get the message in time! There were lots of birds there as usual. Besides the usual Whooper Swans, Mallards, and Northern Pintails at our feet, we saw a Teal, a Falcated Duck, Common Goldeneyes and others a short distance away. We also saw Grey Herons and Bean Geese which return at this time of year [though a couple of weeks later than usual this year], signaling the arrival of spring. Further away on the lake we saw Stellar's Sea-Eagle, White-tailed Sea-Eagle, and a fox. We let sightseers to the park look through our scopes to see the beautiful breeding colors of the Grey Herons and the distant Stellar's Sea-Eagle. They were delighted to know that such birds were so close by. Yes, there are indeed lots of birds close to us. Realizing this is a beautiful thing. Though the weather was wonderful just after the snowstorm of the previous day, the air was still cold and the event ended after about an hour. We went into a room of the Tofutsu Lake Wetland & Waterfowl Center and enjoyed refreshments, especially Ohagi made by M-san. (Arigatou, M-san!) This is our final event of the fiscal year. We will have plenty of events around the Okhotsk region starting again in April, so we look forward to seeing you all again then. [from report]
