Duck in the desert

Las Vegas was extremely dry. Outside you are in the desert, and indoors they have air conditioning on full blast all the time so it is even worse. My nose and lips were in a terrible state when we left. I did see a few ducks that somehow had ended up in the middle of the desert. They swam around in one of the big fountain show pools.

Birds of prey

When I was out on my lunch break, I saw a guy carrying around a huge and very cool bird. I stopped to take a photo, and he then said: "Ah, Jonas!" and took a photo of me, haha. We met at an event where I did magic. He was going around inside our (enormous) university campus with this bird to chase away the large crows we have many of.

Man eaten alive by bird in Sapporo?!

When walking around in the fairly hot (33℃) autumn weather we had during Saturday, I saw a man with 4 pigeons climbing around on his arms and back. He also carried another 3 pigeons in his hands... I wonder why.

Woodpecker

When walking to work, some people stopped and suddenly reached for their cameras. They started taking pictures of this bird, so possibly it is a rare bird to see here. I took a picture too.
