MAM DAY Fifteen – Back to Japan

But first – Spring symphony interlude – a glimpse of Spring to come (symphony was today’s MAM prompt after all)

On Sodom Pond

Now back to Japan and the fish owl

We stayed at a luxurious hotel where people came especially to get a glimpse of the fish owl. The Japanese always know how to arrange things beautifully, from food to flowers to window displays.

A cold and snowy day. I decided to skip the day’s bird outing and relax in this lovely hotel. Maybe even try soaking in the hot springs or get a massage. Have fun fellow birders out in the snow. See ya later.

After a good day’s rest it was time to see the fish owl. At the hotel they fed the owl outside the big picture window at a certain time of night so all the guests could see it. We waited and waited all night long until we fell asleep in the lounge but the bird didn’t come. Oh well, try again tomorrow.

Oh there you are! And a very impressive raptor too.
Thank you for showing up and posing for me. You made it a satisfying day.

Until tomorrow’s next installment, Good night.
