Creatures of Hokkaido

Spotted this Northern Fox on the way back down Rausudake.

These two brown bears had just finished feeding on salmon from the river mouth in Shiretoko.

Is this an eagle? Taken on the Okhotsk coast just south of Abashiri. These fellows are all along that coast.

I also saw a 30cm green snake (maybe a tree snake?) on the trail down Rausudake, but didn't have the presence of mind to take a photo.

Difficult to tell exactly what that bird is. It's a lot easier when they're on the ground and you can see the full body structure. Or the upper surface of their wings.
