SPECIES IDENTIFICATION AND DISTRIBUTION
We would like to see this segment develop as an accumulation of observations and comments from many sources in building identification profiles for difficult species. Each species account should be considered 'notes toward identification', and any personal information you can contribute will add to the overall knowledge we have about finding and identifying these species in Japan.
For those planning a visit to Japan, there is information on field guides on our Locations page, and additional comments on books and tapes at Birding Pal.
