We had such fun bird watching. We got lots of fuzzy pictures.... and a few good ones.
You'll notice the elephants in the background and the flamingos and other birds in the foreground. It was so interesting to see the animals in community. So often in zoos and such, we just see them singular-- each species tucked in it's own cage.
I love the crowned crane. I think it's one of my favorite birds!
This is a large and unnamed duck. Mystery Question-- can you tell what it is?
This African Jacana has some chicks. Can you see them?
We saw herds of ostrich... or are they clusters... or flocks?
I love the hawks here. This is an Eastern Pale Chanting Goshawk. I wonder what he chants. "Here little rodent... Here little rodent... Here...."
This bird has a Looonnnggg skinny neck. A Gray Heron. Very elegant birds.
I'm not quite sure how these guys got the rap about delivering babies. This is the Yellow-Billed Stork.
We enjoyed the wonderful reflections in the still waters. These are Egyptian Geese and a little Sanderling in the background.
These Superb Starlings are all over. They are brilliantly colored and iridescent and seem like happy birds.(photo courtesy of Elder Watt)
This jaunty looking fellow is a Pied Kingfisher.
Ah, the Lord must have spent many hours creating these creatures. It's fun to watch and admire them. If he took such good care creating these small birds... how much must he care for us?
