Birds of Tarangire National Park

This was my second time visiting the Northern Parks of Tanzania and I'm pretty sure I saw as many new species (to me) as I did during my FIRST visit in 2009!

Some of the birds from Tarangire National Park, Tanzania, that I saw on my Safari in May:

1. Red-billed Firefinch (what a cool name!)

Thanks Red! Such amazing variety there!

Nice,

You can't beat Africa for variety and a good selection posted here Brian, never seen the Yellow-collared Lovebird or Red-billed firebird - good catches on those, in fact good catches on all.

Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed these.

wonderful series!

I loved seeing the Fish eagle and the Jacana,. hope to see them again someday.

Oh and it DOES have thick knees though

Thanks Kev! I'm surprised I hadn't seen the lovebirds around, previously - there were so many there that day.. you'd think I would have seen them. Such a great variety in Tarangire alone!

LOL - yeah I noticed that. But they could have called it the "bugeye", just as easily. So much coolness!

That was my second time and I STILL have the desire to go back... Can't get it out of my blood... Like Malaria
