Spring migratory bird season

Monday, April 15, 2024

It is the season for spring migratory birds heading towards Siberia and back.

The flight route is the "Hokkaido Central Flyaway," which flies over the plains of central Hokkaido, from the Yufutsu Plain in Tomakomai to the Ishikari Plain and the Kita-Sorachi Plain.

This is a scene of graceful migratory birds flying in a V formation, cutting through the wind and working together efficiently.
