This was one of my favorites of the entire trip. But it wasn't mine...it was taken by Jack Sullivan!!! :)

For the month of May I will post one picture each day of my 2002 Kenyan trip in the "Wildlife" forum. I don't have enough bird pictures to do the same in the "Bird" forum but we do have a few good ones.

Jack Sullivan and I are going back this September. We'll increase our focus on birds this time!

A story of one of our leopard encounters from our last trip was just published by NSN here:

Len, nice shot. I might sharpen the birds just a tad.

Different, and a neat photo. A crop of the central portion, honing in on the birds, could be outstanding.

I love the birds, I agree a tight cropping might be more impressive.

This is such a cool shot. Most unusual perch I've ever seen. I just love the bills on these comical looking birds. 8)
