I've been going to send all these pictures to my friend Denise, who went to Kenya with us last month. She is the bird expert and collects birds like I collect - umm - pictures of everything else. So if I don't have it listed what type of bird each of these, keep checking back, as I'm sure Denise will clarify for us.

A Hooded Crow in a park in Istanbul, Turkey. They are found throughout Northern, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe, and parts of the Middle East. |
|
A pair of Egyptian geese, seen while we were on the way to the Masa Mara. They are found in Africa south of the Sahara and the Nile Valley. |
|
These starlings were looking at their reflection in the mirrored door to the villas we were staying in. |
|
Oh, I don't know, just your average bird, looking in the window of our villa. The mirrored doors were two sided, so I could see out but he couldn't see in. |
|
Some sort of dove, possibly the laughing dove. I love that name!
|
|
I think this is the speckled mousebird. |
|
Another average bird. |
|
Another Superb Starling. Yes, their name is superb starling. |
|
This little beggar flew up to our dining room table one morning at breakfast. |
|
He's obviously not afraid of humans and was hoping for a handout. |
|
I'm pretty sure he was a yellow weaver. |
|
I think this is the basic black flycatcher. |
|
Superb Starling, again. |
|
Man, I could not find this one. It looks a bit like the glossy starling, but he is clearly not glossy and his mate would be blue also. |
|
Last, there's this poor guy. I couldn't figure out what he was. I hope he's molting and looks better other times of the year. |
