After watching Tancho Cranes, I walked to a coffee shop across Tancho Crane Sanctuary to take a break. In theri warm sitting area, I found a fieldscope on a stand. Shop's owner told me "you can watch National Treasure bird, Steller's Sea Eagle right now. Earlie, we saw White-tailed Eagle as well." When I took a look into the fieldscope, sure enough, I found a Steller's Sea Eagle. However, to my surprise, it was not just one, multiple Birds were on surrounding trees.
I felt as if I hit a jackpot. I saw Special National Treasure, Tancho Cranes and National Treasure, Steller's Sea Eagles in one sitting!
I thanked Japanese indigenous "Multitudinous Gods" for my good luck.

タンチョウヅルをしばらく眺め、休憩のために入った近くのお店の店内に、野鳥観察用の望遠鏡が設置してありました
オーナーさん曰く「天然記念物のオオワシが見えますよ」「さっきまでオジロワシもいました」
望遠鏡で確認した後、お店の裏庭に出て、自分の双眼鏡で周囲をよく見てみると、一羽ではありません オオワシのなる木がそこここに
特別天然記念物のタンチョウヅルと天然記念物のオオワシを一度に見ることが出来た幸運
八百万の神々に感謝しかありません
