Hi! This is a reply to Cathy Wisel's request here:
https://mailman11.u.washington.edu/pipermail/tweeters/2024-August/005766.html

(I receive Tweeters as a digest, so I can't reply in-thread, sorry for the
awkwardness!)

I went birding in eastern Hokkaido, including the Nemuro area, for five
days in February/March of 2023 and I had a WONDERFUL trip. I am happy to
share information on the guide I used, another guide I know familiar with
the area, accommodations in the area, and so on.

However, you didn't post your email so I can't DM you! Please feel free to
reach out to me at azureye at gmail.com and I'll share what I know.

Best,

Julia Hansbrough
