Have a look at photos of wildlife, festivals and travel sites here. Sharing tips for travelers with a twist of humor is part the life I enjoy in Okinawa, Japan.

Bird Animation from DEC 2019
They're Gone But Will Return in Autumn
Grey-faced Buzzards (Butastur indicus) AKA Sashiba, in Japan are migratory visitors.
They visit Okinawa from late October until March each year.
Going through my image files, I found this batch and decided to post an animation.
This character frequented my neighborhood within 500 meters of my house, all winter.
Since migratory birds are gone, I walk somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 steps daily.
When the weather turns cold again, I'll be looking forward to seeing my Sashiba friend!
