A migration of Chinese Goshhawk in autumn 2008  Japanese edition
        ※Back number:2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 →Japanese Only 2007 2008

The migration of Chinese Goshhawk begins in autumn 2008. I do my best as much as possible for the observation of a migration of Goshhawk. 
By the way, it is about 70km distance from my home to the observation place.
Therefore the everyday expenditure of gasoline becomes the considerable sum.
So for a remarkable rise of the gas price of these days, the everyday observationmay be difficult.

Look at the southwestern direction from Uchiyama Pass

A few years ago Hawk tended to fly for Tatera Mt from the Yatate Mt direction.
But in late years it is tending to fly for the Kayaba Mt direction from Maisinodan Mt of the back.
