Have a great time in Africa, what part are you going to visit? Can't wait to see your spottings!

I bet you get tons of great pictures from your Africa trip! It'll be fun seeing all those spottings.

Thank you, Tom! I was a treat watching this guy, larger birds kept trying to chase him away from the water, but he would instead chase them away. And he's so tiny, it was pretty funny to watch. Hopefully I get more chances to bird now that school stuff has calmed down some. And just wait til I start uploading stuff when I get back from Africa ;)
