.I'm in an area of Japan with a lot of mountains and a lake, so I frequently see crows, herons, hawks, and falcons (one flew past my window my first day here). It's a lot of fun to watch the different ways of flying all of the birds have, but I do find myself getting sad over Fajr not being here with me. My fellow program members are surprisingly tolerant of the fact that I would rather follow and photograph a group of pigeons than rush to grab lunch before our next activity.
On a non-bird related note, we are planning a trip to Nara soon, an area where the deer are very tame. I was bummed over not being able to visit the cat island or the bunny island, but this definitely makes up for it
