| 4. A Corvus macrorhynchos stays on a larch. The dominant tree species on Mount Koma is now Japanese larch, and many bird species feed, reproduce and rest in areas where the larch is dominant. This photo was taken at 700 m in elevation. (July 2002) | 5. A Corvus macrorhynchos walks on the ground to find out food. (Aug. 2002) | 6. Refer to photo 5. |
