Japan Day 1
After 24 hours in transit – a train ride to the airport and 3 plane changes later, I finally arrived in the land of the Rising Sun. I can’t say the flight was at all comfortable and I can’t say I liked the part where I am waiting at airports with inconsistent internet speed but I’m glad to the transit is at least temporarily over.

I actually learned about Corvids in a podcast a few weeks ago. Before then, I would’ve been like “What? Cor-what?” Though I still can’t tell what’s what in that family, I now have a general idea of what’s included in that family. I hope you enjoy the gallery of every Corvid I can find in my archive, and please no judging if I get one wrong.
