Ducks (Kamikochi) - Japan  2024

Mallards: Kamikochi’s Permanent Residents

"As you may have gathered from the title of this post, mallard ducks (called 'magamo' in Japanese) have a special quality which strengthens their association with Kamikochi. The mallard itself is by no means a rare species. Of the 130 species of birds confirmed to reside in Kamikochi, though, it is one of only 20 species that winters there."

Didn't expect to see them in Kamikochi! (More likely viewed down by the pool or Vik's Chaat restaurant in Berkeley.)
