Overview: Our stage this time is Lake Miyajima, a small lake about 45 km north of Sapporo. With up to 85,000 birds at one time, this is one of the largest migratory stops in the world for the Greater White-fronted Goose. The Greater White-fronted Goose has a wingspan of almost 1.5 meters and is a protected species in Japan. We show rare footage of the geese resting at Lake Miyajima on their return route to Siberia after spending the winter on Japan’s mainland. Also, join our program host as he observes the birds live himself.
