The birds

This region is a fantastic place to see all kinds of birds. I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of them but I have no clue what most of them are. If you know, please leave a comment!

 This brown bird was hanging out by the croco-diles. The WHAT? Oh yeah, that's the next blog...

 This dude's entire clan was also hanging out by crocodiles. Needless to say, I didn't try to touch the crocodiles!

I spent a long time watching the birds hovering above the boat's wake and then plunging down into the foam to catch a fish. Often when a bird snagged a fish, two or three other birds would arrive to contest his eligibility to keep it!

SPLASH!

Aren't they beautiful?

Mommy, can I have one PLEASE ?!?

These birds put spy planes to shame.

Look, they can even be carrier-based!

I am quite certain that this is a pelican. Unfortunately my camera was set to capture the scenery, not the blinding white of his feathers.

Flamingos! They were a long distance away but I still feel very privileged to have seen them in the wild.
