Four Seasons in the Forest of Yokohama Nature Observation

Spring is the season of awake. Kibushi, Niwatoko, wild cherry tree, etc. The buds of the trees swell day by day, opening new leaves and flowers, and the forest changes color more and more.
In the sun, tsuriabs come to the flowers of tachitsubos violets and Himeus, and red frog tadpoles are born in the water.
When spring migration begins, winter birds travel north, summer birds depart from the south, and Japanese tit, who does not migrate, starts raising children a little earlier.

When dogwood blooms, the forest is completely wrapped in green.
If Japanese firefly appears, it will signal the rainy season. Jaketsuibara and Iwatabako are blooming on the road of dogwood.
Summer vacation is semi-seasoned. Minminzemi, Higurashi, kaempfer cicada, etc. It will be a cicada's Oai chanting. swallowtail butterfly and golden-ringed dragonfly also fly around, and the insects Wonderland. Birds born this year are separated from their parents and start living.

At dusk in autumn, the cricket begins to ring.
Red dragonflies jump in the wetlands, and nogiku and hagi are in full bloom in forests and fields. Birds on the way stop by to rest their wings.
Cute mushrooms like forest fairies also appear, and the fruitful autumn is lively. Autumn leaves burn the mountain beautifully, and the trail is eventually squeezed into a carpet of fallen leaves.

In the winter forest, the leaves of the trees fall, making you feel lonely at once.
But the wild birds are full of energy. I come here from the northern country or the high mountains. Cold, dry, cold winter...
Insects pass winter under the mud or fallen leaves of the soil. Occasionally, in the warm sunshine, Kitateha and others are enjoying Hinataboko.
Dandelions and Nogeshi are rosettes, and all the tree buds are sleeping. Do your best until spring comes.
