Cranes, Ducks, and Tits - Izumi & Kagoshima

Our last adventure in Japan was to fly into the Kagoshima airport on the southern island of Kyushu and bird between there and Izumi.  We were searching for wintering cranes at the Izumi Crane Observation Center, ducks and forest birds at the Kogawa dam, and then finished up our trip at the Kagoshima Prefectural Forest.  What a way to end an exciting trip!Adventure begins at: 8:00Show notesNaturalist Journeys Go Birding with Hannah and Erik Tufted Puffin Walks eBird Big Day; GoBirdingTeam Koko Stay Izumi Izumi Crane Observation Center Koji Tagi Japan Bird GuideeBird Trip ReportIntro Bird Call: Varied Tit (Recorded Japan, February 2026) Outro Bird Call: Green Pheasant (Recorded Japan, February 2026)Support the showConnect with us at...IG: @Hannahgoesbirding and @ErikgoesbirdingFacebook: @HannahandErikGoBirdingEmail us at [email protected]: http://www.gobirdingpodcast.comVenmo: @hannahanderikgobirdingGet a discount at Buteo Books using code: BIRDNERDBOOKCLUB
