Do you ever spot birds nearby or on a walk? What kind are they?
Do you have a favorite birdsong?
Have you noticed the birds you see change with spring, summer, fall, and winter?
Have the birds you see nearby changed compared to years ago?
Do the birds you see in Japan change with the seasons?
Yes. Japan has “summer birds” that arrive from the south in spring and summer (like swallows and cuckoos), “winter birds” that arrive from the north in autumn and winter (like swans and ducks), and “resident birds” that stay year-round (like sparrows and crows). The wild birds you spot change with the season.
Why do birds have such beautiful songs?
Birdsong evolved for males to claim territory and court females — the more beautiful the song, the more it’s thought to help with courtship. In Japan, the bush warbler and skylark are especially known for their lovely voices.
Is birdwatching hard to get into?
Not at all — all you really need is a pair of binoculars and a field guide. You can spot many species in everyday places like parks, rivers, and countryside hills. Japan has over 700 recorded wild bird species, so there’s always something new to see through the seasons.
