DUCKS!

I rode over to the other side of town today with a few other teachers. During the winter months, swans and ducks from Siberia fly south for the winter and many of them land right here in Fukushima. There is one part of Abukama River, on the other side of town, where people go every year to see and feed the "snow birds." At times, the number of swans and ducks that gather here are in the thousands. I've never been a very good swan/duck estimator but I can tell you that there were A LOT. I'll let you guess for yourself.
