BIRDS FROM 5 CONTINENTS: Yvonne has documented over 2000 species as we roam |
|
King Vulture we were lucky to find two roosting on a stump 20 ft in front of us. Normally they were always 2000 yards above us. |
|
Fish Eagle I was lucky enough to catch it taking food. |
|
Terra del Fuegan Stilts feeding on shrimp |
|
These clever African Umbrella Herons use their wings to make shade which brings fish and makes them easy to see. |
|
Secretary Bird We mistook this large gliding bird for a hang glider until it landed, folded its wings, and began to walk |
|
Many times in Africa armed guards, who were often excellent spotters of birds, came with us on bird watching expeditions to protect us from game. |
|
Thick Knees were seen in most countries even Australia |
|
Pygmy Owl He sat in low tree and totally ignored us even though we were only 6 feet away. |
