Birds in Africa


Why do vultures have no feathers on head or neck ?
I'll let you think about the answer.


A flock of Maribu Storks have assembled atop the crown of a tree.


The "Hammerkop" is about the size of a small duck,
but builds the largest nest of any bird in Africa.
Not only that, but they also build a new one each year.
That's similar to you building every year a new Villa for your wife and children.
Don't ask me "why"

 

A clutch of "White Faced Ducks" have assembled on the surface of a pond. 
Yes, this is a pond, overgrown with a light purple blooming water plant.
