Kijibato 7/24/2004 Pheasant Dove
Here are a couple of pictures of a local bird, called a kijibato or pheasant dove. They make lovely alarm clocks. Last year Yukinori was ready to take a pair attempting to build a love nest outside his bedroom window out to a French restaurant for dinner, ala Sautee of Squab. This particular bird was so involved in pecking around in the grass that it did not bother to flee even though I shot at it repeatedly.
