I saw a kingfisher in the Fugan canal park.
I saw it from the bird watching shed.
It was the first time to see it.
It had a long beak and gray wings.
Its back was bright sapphire color.
It was a very cute and beautiful bird.
Its another name is " Halcyon ".
Literally, I was really really happy to see it.
Its length was like a sparrow , perhaps.
I'm not sure. 'Cause it was too far.
I was watching it by pair of binoculars.
According to the web, its length is 16cm.
When I found it at first, it perched on a Japanese pampas grass.
Then, It had been beating the surface of the water as hovering.
I guessed it intended to hunt a small fish.
At last, it couldn't get anything and disappeared.
Its kanji notation is 翡翠（jade）
You write it as a 翡翠 and read with KAWASEMI.
People say it like a jade in a waterside.
That's the reason why it was named.
There is another way to write, too.
But I prefer 翡翠 to 川蝉.
Have you ever seen it?
You also have a chance to meet it, when you visit the Fugan Canal Park.
It's a one of my favorite place.
I recommend to take a walk, have a cup of coffee at the Cafe and take it easy in there,
The Cafe might be crowded awfully, though.

Hi, Ted.
I've never seen kingfisher.
It is really cute and beautiful, so I want to see it.
Do you like bird watching? I've never heard of your bird watching story.
There are lots of birds in Toyama.
When I saw Japanese green pheasant (キジ）and Heron (サギ）, I was very surprised !
I'll go the Fugan canal park.
Thank you for information.

Hi Dawn,
I like bird watching, and I occasionally take my own pair of binoculars, but ...
Generally, I don't go out of my way to go bird watching.
When I went cycling, I've done the bird watching in passing.
You can't see a kingfisher all the time.
Although, you can see ducks and herons forage for fish.
There is a bird watching shed that has pair of binoculars and illustrated books.
So you can go there empty-handed.
I guarantee, it'll be fun!
I hope you have a leisurely time in there.
Take it easy,

Hi owl,
I haven't seen you for longtime.
I remember that owl is raptorial.
Same as always, Susan's class is big.
If my memory is right, the all member of class is 54.
I suppose that about two third of class are attending usually.
So Susan's so busy......... and so do we.
By the way, I was lucky about the kingfisher.
At the time, I heard someone said that he wonder it was the same one he saw before.
So I guess it wasn't a rare occasion.
Why don't you try it, owl?
But, please don't hunt the kingfisher for God's sake.
You know, I saw wild dolphins in Noto island on Monday of the week before last.
It was two days holyday, so I've gone cycling.
I met Healthy there and camped with him.
We'd planned it beforehand.
Next day, we went to north shore of the island by bike.
Then we found four dolphins swimming around a canoe.
We were lucky! .......... Although we were surely so.
I heard that almost always you can meet the dolphins there.
Healthy took a hundred of pics, so I guess he'll show you them soon or later.
Anyway, it was a beautiful day,
We have a good day.

Is it a dolphin this time in Noto Island? You have good footwork (pedalwork?) as ever. I have watched a dolphin in Noto Island "aquarium". But I've never seen the dolphin in the sea.
Come to think of it, I wanted to go to watch colored leaves on last Sunday, but could not. My son had to go to school for an examination. I was very disappointed.
It became cold. In winter, the weather of Toyama is not good. So, I want to go "somewhere" before it's too late.
A cold is going around. Take care of yourself!

Thanks owl.
I'm sorry about that you couldn't go out with your son.
I've already seen colored leaves recently.
I climbed Mt.Dainichi alone 3weeks ago.
I could see a great field of beautiful colored leaves there.
I've seen Mt.Turugi clearly from the Dainichi shed too.
It was a touching scene!
When I climbed Mt.Dainichi in this Spring, I haven't seen it by haze then.
At the time, I've climbed it with my son.
I hope you have a good day with your son someday too.
