Japan has wide variety of bird species. Through the years they have faced an uphill battle for
survival. Their beautiful feathers and graceful flight have made them both objects of wonder and victims of their plumage. But over the past few decades serious efforts have been made to reverse this trend and improve habitat for resident and migratory birds. Even with these efforts, the country has a long way to go to reverse habitat loss. Enjoy these bird images and look for them when you visit Japan. Japan lies along the important East Asian-Australasian Flyway. This route is particularly important for shore birds that migrate between eastern Russia and Alaska down to Australia and New Zealand. Japan's long shorelines and numerous islands provide critical habitat for these migratory birds.
