| 3/18/12 Hokkaido, Japan: The star of our Japan visit had to be the dancing Red-crowned Crane (s), many of which we were able to see interacting. Click on NEXT PAGE below to see them! A close second were Steller's Sea Eagle, White-tailed Sea Eagle, and the fantastic Black Kite , many of which came close to us as they kited by. We were thrilled to see them in flight and defending their food from the crows. |
