The magpie is often seen in Tomakomai.
In Japan, it has been breeding for a long time in limited areas such as Saga Prefecture, but it has started to appear in Tomakomai about 20 to 30 years ago.
It is about the size of a pigeon, with a stylish black and white body and long tail feathers that can shine blue to green depending on the angle of light.✨ You might spot them resting on power lines near the Tomakomai Tourist Information Center, so keep an eye out!
