One morning in September, as usual, when I was strolling along the Sumida River Terrace of Ishikawajima Park, I heard a pee and a very thin bird from overhead. Look up,

Something is flying in front of you. What's the matter?　If you look well, there,

There are two pheasant pigeon chicks looking at them. Whether you are worried about the disappearance of parent birds, or if you are worried about the strange creatures you see for the first time?

I was sorry, but I decided to watch the nest gently.

Here around the Sumida River Terrace in Ishikawajima Park, I was able to see a set of pheasant pigeons on a regular basis. Maybe they are the chicks.

It's quite big on the third day of the meeting. They have the same wings as their parents. The pheasant pigeon seems to lay two eggs at a time.

Day 6　

The nest may be getting narrower, devise the formation of two birds!

On the seventh day of the meeting, the nesting of the chicks is two weeks after hatching, is it almost time? I encountered a parent bird today! You haven't been standing yet.

I haven't seen it on the 8th day!

When I looked around, I was there! A chick that has just left, no, young bird.

The pheasant pigeon does not come to catch the food that humans sow like earth pigeons. From now on, I have to look for food myself. There were many typhoons in September, and it was raining on this nesting day, but it will surely grow strong.

Kiji pigeons are often paired, so if you see them, be sure to look for another one.

　On the evening of October 2, after eating and shopping at a famous Nihonbashi store, a lot of people are gathering in front of the Kirin statue at the Nihonbashi Road Signpost in the middle of Nihonbashi.

One of them was about to press the shutter of the commemorative photo, so I replaced them.

After taking a commemorative photo, I heard that they were taking a commemorative photo of the moment they arrived in Nihonbashi over 10 days, taking a Nakasendo from Kyoto and using a bus on the way.

　I shared the joy of traversing Nakasendo.

Nihonbashi, where people from all over the world gather.
