I think they are dirt common anywhere they find themselves to. I never seem to find piles of them in a single tree like that it is usually just a handful.
Thank you for your comment, MossyRocks.
Since rice is the staple food of the Japanese people, there are many rice paddies.
Near the rice paddies, we can see many flocks of birds that come to eat the fallen rice.

Through the keyhole shot, looking for the gap between the twigs that were screening me to get a clear shot of the roost. Locating the bird was easy - there are over 30 of them in this one site, due to an overgenerous sheep farm right next door to a forest managed on a 15-year cycle.

Nikkor 600mm AI-S, Leitax conversion, MF hand held at over 70m range. ISO 640 (set to take advantage of the KP's accelerator - though some say it comes in at ISO 800).

That's a superb result from such a range.

From the back yard
The doves that are wintering with us. Toughest doves ever. They had 4 little ones last year, we know one was eaten, we found the feathers, the other three likely migrated south.




I've been trying for while to get these guys, today a few posed for me.

Evening Grosbeaks male and female






We have Blue Jays all day every day. I guess this one is the Blue Jay on a blue day.

Thank you! The bird did help by sitting very, very still.
