Title: East African Birds
Post by: DragonSpeed on December 26, 2011, 10:09:16 AM

In 2009, we took a Safari trip with Tropical Trails out of Arusha.  Our guide was a fantastic gentleman, Jacob Loserian.  He really knew everything botanical about Tanzania!
All in all, we were able to photograph 50 different species of birds! I finally finished editing the bird photos (only a few thousand MAMMALS to go!) so here they are:
