I was just sitting around this evening and thought that I would share a few more pics with you. Let me know what you think.

#1 Not sure what this. I think that it is a bee eater of some sort.

#2 I believe that this is a Ruppel's Griffon Vulture

    Nice set thumb.gif The antelope (methinks waterbuck) and the flying vulture are tops!

    The first one is a barbet - I think a Red and Yellow Barbet.

    Yea that is a waterbuck. Thanks for the comments. And thanks for the lead on the bird. I'm still trying to locate a book on the birds of East Africa so I can put some names on the birds that I took pictures of. When people ask me what kind of bird that is, I'm tired of saying that it is a black and white one.

    The book that I have (yes it is a Red and Yellow Barbet) is "A field guide to the birds of East Africa" by Williams and Arlott, published by Collins in the UK. Mine is pretty old, but there are 2nd hand copies available on Amazon.

    That is one of the two that I have been looking for. One of the drivers was using it while I was there. Thanks

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry. I still have a lot more. Between my pics and my vidieo and trying to keep up with all of my other jobs around the house and work I should be busy for several months.
