Well, crows are common birds but it would still have been nice with a closeup. But snowstorms made it pretty hard.

There was not much information on this bird. But I guess this is a female. She did not seem to enjoy the snow.

Some well known birds from many places that I also found in Japan. The first two I know from Sweden, where I live and the Little egret seem to be all around the globe except for the northern part.

When we had breakfast this little Blue rock trush female met us at the bus. This bird turned out not to be a trush. Think it belongs to the flycatchers.
