(Today's Cute Kawaii Little Birds - Short Version - Winter Season 2024, April 21)
I captured an amazing scene of a male Daurian Redstart, nesting in this area, repeatedly attacking Japanese Squirrels! It was incredibly brave and determined to chase away potential predators from its territory. (Note: Although Japanese Squirrels are generally considered herbivores, the ones in this area have been known to prey on baby birds.) When I first saw it spread its wings, I thought it was a bird of prey...
The squirrels would retreat when attacked, but they didn't seem too bothered and quickly returned to feed. Meanwhile, the Hawfinch (the owner of this territory and the main character of this channel) just watched, looking a bit flustered 😆😆
With the bird breeding season about to begin in earnest, and having witnessed the birds' ability to defend themselves against predators, I've decided to conclude the winter feeding support for now. I plan to gradually resume providing treats, starting around late summer, once all the chicks have fledged and the breeding season is over.
