Tiny Birds That Look Like Flying Cotton Balls Live On Japanese Island
While most long-tailed tits have brown or gray eyebrows and more brown in their feathers, the ones in Hokkaido have pure white faces. This makes them look like flying cotton balls, with black tails and wings. They're distinct enough to have earned their own name: the shima-enaga bird. It literally translates to long-tailed island bird, which is pretty much accurate.
