BIRDS: Part One


...African winged creatures...

...our guide, David was so knowledgeable and was able to identify all the bird sitings and information about each but I honestly can't remember all the names so when I can will post the names associated with the appropriate pictures...

...Secretary Bird...
...named because they appear to be sporting a miniskirt and high heels...







...Egyptian Goose...





...East African Crowned Crane...
...national bird of Uganda...





...Great White Pelican...






...Kori Bustard...
...bustard conservation status: 
populations declining and near endangered...



...Little Brown Bustard...

 ...these are very shy birds so getting a decent pictures was really difficult as most times they would skitter away into the grasses but on our last day was able to get this decent shot...

...Hoopoe...
