<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Cindy and I are scheduled to visit Japan this winter (February) with a mix of birding and cultural activities. My main goal is to see a male Smew - my top of the list bucket list bird but we will also be going for cranes, Steller's Sea eagles, Blakiston's Fish Owl and others with some birding on Honshu, Hokkaido and Kyushu. We are fortunate to have Koji Tagi as a guide. Working with us, he has made a full itinerary and arranged most accommodations and travel. We are happy to share details and the experience when we return.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Blair Bernson</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div>
