Speaking of wild birds in Karuizawa

After all, Wild Bird Forest is famous .
During the season, fans come with expensive-looking binoculars and telephoto lenses.
The Wild Bird Forest is open to the public for free, but first we will take a tour of Picchio It's a quick and fun way to participate.

Even if you don't go to the Wild Bird Forest, you can observe wild birds all over Karuizawa.
The most common species are crows (wild tits, great tits, nuthatches, black tits, black tits, etc.), and they can be found everywhere.
The yellow one is the same size as the stonefinch. Bunting is also similar in size.
Karuizawa's bird is the squid. It is smaller than a wood pigeon, but larger than a crow.
The one that is drumming early in the morning is a woodpecker, and the photo is of a red-headed woodpecker.
You can tell the Japanese Warbler and Japanese Warbler just by their calls.
Bulbuls are also quite noisy.
The one that makes hissing noises in the middle of the night is the Japanese tiger thrush.
There are also many pheasants, and you can often see them walking around the villa area.
The porcupine is also big.
If you go up the Furuse Forest Road along the Yukawa River, you can also see kingfishers in the summer.
There is also a giant lily, but the difficulty level is a little higher.
The swallow in Karuizawa is small, but this is a house swallow.

Some pensions are visited daily by fed wild birds.
Surprisingly, Pension Olive also has an owl named Fu-chan.

For example, in urban areas, cherry trees may be infested with caterpillars.
That's because the ecosystem is collapsing.
In Karuizawa, if there are a large number of caterpillars, the wild birds that feed on them will find them right away and get rid of them.
If you like wild birds, you'll want to capture them on camera .

The large parking lot is also attractive! The large bay window in the dining room is polished to a shine, and birds mistake it for the blue sky and crash into it! And what about the unknown animal I saw the other day? It was a baby deer! Handmade quilts stand out in the green lawn of the building, giving it a country feel.
