Cape York Bird Week and Field guide for Japan

[Helen Larson <>]

Sonja,
   there's an iphone app called Japanese Birds - has photos of most birds, 
brief info, calls and songs, but not maps, just prefectures and islands are 
given. For real books, I have Mark Brazil's Birds of East Asia (will be 
road-tested in Okinawa this June) plus 'A photographic guide to the birds of 
Japan and north-east Asia' by Tadao Shimba is useful plus is smaller and 
lighter than Brazil's tome.
   Temple gardens are good for birds in Japan.
Sounds like a great trip - have never been up north.
Helen

Subject: Cape York Bird Week and Field guide for Japan
 
I had had a great trip to Cairns and Cape York Bird Week, increasing my life 
list my 39 and seeing some beautiful birds.  I haven't counted the group's 
total, and doubt that I will have time to do a trip report at the moment.  
Klaus's ability to hear and locate birds was amazing, and the group were good 
to be with.  Thanks again to those who recommended it.


Unexpectedly, my husband has organised at the last minute to go to the Ice 
Festival in Sapporo, so we leave in less than a fortnight.  Part of the tour is 
to see the Red-crowned Cranes, and I'm hoping to squeeze in some other birding 
when we visit gardens etc., so I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a light 
field guide for the area, or an app as Geoff will have his phone.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Sonja
