Where There Is Water, There Are Birds
(I wrote and recorded this last Friday.) I like birdwatching, and this weekend, I’m going to be at a conference in Yamanashi Prefecture. I asked a birdwatching friend where to go, and he recommended Mt. Fuji. If you go to the fifth station, there’s a little restaurant and shop, and next to the shop, there are two little ponds. This is the only water in the area, so many birds come here to drink and wash themselves. And many birdwatchers come to look at the birds. When I got here today, there were about 10 or 15 birdwatchers. I saw five or six different kinds of birds. They came and washed themselves, and they jumped out of the water, shook their feathers, and flew off. This happened again and again. I don’t know how many photos I took, but I’m sure I took more than 200. Remember, if you are looking for birds, look for water, and you will find some.
