A Wild Bird in February
Long-tailed Rosefinch
Uragus sibiricus

It’s a charming winter bird with an adorable ‘pippo’ call.
In Shinshu it appears in winter, so its plumage is a pale pink, but in Hokkaido you can apparently see its bright red breeding colors.
Since it loves the seeds of goldenrod, try looking for it when you hear its call.
