Take a break from the heat of Arizona and join Alyce Bender, Tamron Ambassador and Wildside Nature Tour leader, as she introduces you to Northern Japan and the wildlife that call it home during the winter!

A variety of birds, like the Steller’s sea eagles and whooper swans, migrate to the area to overwinter while others, such as the Red Crowned Crane, are year-long residents. Learn more about the rare and endemic species that can be found during the coldest months of the year in this unique birding location. Additionally, Bender will include tips that are applicable to birding photography in general and speak about some of the ethical and conservation issues that surround birds in this part of the world.
