I had the privilege to spend several days in Tanzania in various national parks. Here is a sample of my results....I primarily learned...how much I have to learn I discovered how amazing birds were when I went to Namibia - now I have a new found appreication for the birds in my own back yard like I never did in the past, especially the raptors.

My guide knew I liked the Lilac-Breasted Rollers so he stopped for just about each one we encountered to ensure that I got the opportunity for some nice shots of these iconic East Africa birds
