A feast before departure.

Good morning from Kronotsky Nature Reserve!

From the beginning of August large flocks of woodcock-berry-pickers arrived here. The tundra is full of simple whistles melodies every sunrise. These birds are fattening on rich local berries before continuing their migration south. The crow-berries are especially plentiful this year.
