Sea Hawks

Fuz and I took a bike ride to the beach for a picnic. Japan is so clean (at least the streets, not the air), and yet you'd be surprised how nasty the beaches are here. Ronnie and Kate said it's probably all the american litter floating over from america. I wouldn't doubt it, except the bottles are all Japanese brands. Anyway, we saw this amazing sea hawk. The wing span must've been about four feet. I would've taken more pictures, but it took me about 5 minutes to get my new digital camera ready. I'm still trying to figure that out. We did watch it glide and hunt...the most nature I've ever really seen in this Japanese concrete jungle.
