Having Betsy (Sigma 300-800) along on my last safari let me get some fun shots of these birds. I would like a better BG, but my perch rocks...

Jeff, I've always loved this bird with its two-tone beak and enterprising ways!!! Glad it's found the ideal perch!!

Since you presumably have four of those perches, can I have one ?

Monique, I am packed and ready to go, I may not look like much but I am well behaved and can grow on you like a fungus, with no cure for it!!!
