Thanks for the delta birds Eric All of these are really nice shots, my only crit would be the horizon in 3 I don't think I have ever even HEARD of a Dickinson's Kestrel, now I know what a great shot of one looks like Great job buddy, this set rocks!!
What a fun set, Eric! Some common and some uncommon birds, a wonderful reminder of the diversity Africa has to offer. (Even that egret looks a bit unusual, maybe too small for a great, and too large for a cattle).
But my favorite has to be the lion for the playful pose.

A strong set, Eric.
That stork isn't as ugly as a maribou stork (what is?) but it looks as big... as in humongous!
Thanks for the lyin' lion. On a hot day, having the wind aiming up your naked butt is a good way to keep cool

The second is my pick of the bird photos for its nice reflection Eric. That lion is way too close and hanging over you for my comfort Eric. I’m glad you are still with us.
