Let’s Tally the Greater White-fronted Geese in Bibai City
Experience the thrill of counting the Greater White-fronted Geese at the Miyajimanuma Waterfowl and Wetland Center in Bibai City on April 18th from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This event invites beginners, seasoned birdwatchers, and individuals of all ages and genders to come together to observe these magnificent creatures returning to the marsh from the nearby rice paddies.
In addition to the exciting goose counting activity, there will also be a “trash pickup” event starting at 4:00 PM. This initiative aims to promote environmental conservation and cleanliness in the area.
Participants are encouraged to bring cold-weather clothing to stay warm during the evening hours, such as gloves, scarves, and hats. It is also recommended to bring a counter to keep track of the number of geese you observe. Counters are available for rent in limited quantities, or you can use smartphone tally counter apps. Binoculars are also recommended for a better viewing experience, with rentals available in limited quantities as well.
This event is open to anyone who wishes to participate, whether they are new to birdwatching or seasoned veterans. The goal is to come together as a community and enjoy the beauty of nature while learning about the migratory patterns of these stunning geese.
The Miyajimanuma Waterfowl and Wetland Center, the venue for this event, is a perfect location for observing the geese in their natural habitat. The organizers of the event, 宮島沼の会, have planned this gathering to provide a unique and educational experience for all attendees.
