キレンジャクは熟したキヅタの果実を食べていた, The Bohemian waxwing was eating ripe fruits of the Japanese ivy.
森の中では葉を落とした他の樹木を這い登っている常緑性のキヅタが目立つ。このつる性木本は春に黒く熟した果実をつけるので レンジャクの食料になる。このレンジャクは尾の先端が黄色なのでキレンジャクだ。キヅタは沢山の実をつけているので、数羽のレンジャクが飛び回りながら熟した果実を食べていたようだ。この2羽もキレンジャクだ。
In the forest, an evergreen Japanese ivy climbing other trees that have dropped leaves stands out. This climbing plant has fruits, ripens in black, having round shape, in spring, which offers food for waxwings. This waxwing is the Bohemian waxwing since the tail ends in a bright yellow band. Because the Japanese ivy has plenty of fruits, it seems that several waxwings were eating ripe fruit while flying around. These two waxwings were also the Bohemian waxwings.
キレンジャクは、沢山のキヅタの果実の中から熟した実を目で見て選んでいるようだ。キレンジャクはつまんだ実を舌で味を確かめた後で飲み込んでいるようだ。
The Bohemian waxwing seems to be choosing ripe fruits among the many ivy ones at first by eyesight.
The Bohemian waxwing seems to be swallowing the pinched fruit after checking the taste with the tongue.
