#certhidae

White-backed woodpecker, Dendrocopos leucotos Eurasian treecreeper, Certhia familiaris Two species often seen in mixed-species flocks, mainly of Marsh tits, in forests near Sapporo. Neither is common in Karuizawa, so it was a pleasant encounter to see them so frequently. The peculiar twisting, tree-climbing movements of Eurasian treecreeper were quite interesting.

オオアカゲラ キバシリ 札幌近郊の森で、ハシブトガラを中心とする混群によく見られた2種。どちらも軽井沢では多くないので、頻繁に見られたのはうれしい出会い。キバシリの体をくねらせて木を登る独特の動きが面白かった。
