In October of last year I traveled with Engineers Without Borders to construct a pedestrian bridge I designed. While there I snapped a couple of bird shot that I thought I would share, but I have no idea what they are.

This guy was super colorful and hard to get a picture of. Every time we got close it flew away. I got lucky this time and got a few shots after it landed nearby

I found this one while hiking on Mt Kenya. We were at around 11,000ft elevation and a couple of these birds was all we saw in terms of wildlife.
