Could see many male KIJI around there.

Looked like they were busy for attracting female pheasant.

Female one.

Another male one.

It just got started blooming.

SHIJUKARA on the snowy branch. 

Comfortable walking on the fresh snow.

Nice see you again, AKAGERA!

Now I knew your unique loud sound, so maybe I can identify you without looking.

So close!!

Just after snowing.
