One of my favorite destinations for bird watching is Eastern & Southern Africa. How amusing it is to visit a rest stop in the Kruger Park in South Africa and see signs discouraging the feeding of birds with an angry looking hornbill standing right next to it. Other places put up bird baths where you can wait and see a huge variety of birds visiting. Birds, I admit, aren’t your typical safari viewing objective. People are always excited about seeing bigger animals like elephants or lions or giraffes, but once you start noticing how beautiful and interesting birds are, a whole new world opens up.
A Swainson’s Hawk marches rather deliberately along a fence and a Barrows’Golden-eye enjoys a nice splashy bath in a pond in the Grand Tetons.
