Hokkaido Wildlife Photography
Japan's northernmost main island, a subarctic landscape of volcanic peaks, primeval forest & coastal wetland spanning Shiretoko & Akan-Mashu National Parks; this itinerary covers the crane grounds of Tsurui-mura & the drift-ice coast around Rausu in the island's east.
Red-crowned cranes perform their courtship dance on the snow, Steller's sea eagles & white-tailed eagles gather on pack ice, & Blakiston's fish owl, whooper swans &, with luck, Ezo red fox can all be found across the island's winter strongholds.
