For the Birds

Although many safari-goers come to Kenya to see the Big 5 (leopard, lion, rhino, elephant, and buffalo), others come solely for the birds.  Over 450 species of birds have been identified in the Masai Mara! We can't remember the names of many of our new friends, but are certain at least one of our blog readers will be able to set us straight and properly identify those pictured below.
