Ducks, known as Common pochard

They migrate every winter from Siberia to Japan.
They have continued the same, well before Japanese primitives started Jomon era.
At that time, those primitives did not know anything about Siberia, but Ducks did.
Yes,
well before some Japanese guys call themselves Samurai,
well before importing industrialization from occidentals.

Cool!
Transcendent!

Anyway, from when and how it was in initial period.
There must be some terrible event that drives them to such a challenge.
Then, they succeeded in overcoming it in a way that is well adopted to Nature.

Cool!
Transcendent!

Now spring is approaching, they will return to Siberia.

Every time I find migratory ducks, I remember “The Wonderful Adventures of Nils”.

This picture was taken just around the river where I was watching the ducks.
So bright was the purple and the yellow center that I could not resist to take the photo.

Music for Ducks:

Maybe in a past I put the same music but this time the best suits to the story of ducks, I think.
For ducks the first attempt of migrating was like finding Avalon, I just imagine.
