| Research Summary |
In 2011 and 2012 we observed the breeding behavior of Grey-faced Buzzards at two sites in western Tokyo, Japan. Both sites were situated in a mountain area with no paddy fields in contrast to most breeding sites of other studies. Woods covered most of the habitat (more than 80%). A stream was located within 600m of each nest tree. The nest trees were Abies firma Siebold et Zucc. and Cryptomeria japonica (L.f.) D.Don. They were larger at DBH than other trees in the neighborhood. |
