This pair of young elephants were such a joy to watch.  They spent time playing with sticks (the discarded one on the roadway had been proudly carried by the closer of the two for some time), tussling and chasing each other, and nibbling on the leaves and grasses.

A red winged blackbird sings his heart out. I was so glad to see this bird singing, as the song has been tormenting me from the bushes for years, and I could never figure out who was making the sound until this past weekend.

A bit of a silly photo; the bird taking flight looks like a turtle to me 🙂

2016-05-15: Hornbills

I’m out of town this weekend, and got this post ready ahead of time, as I knew I wouldn’t be back in time to do my usual “What I’ve seen this week” post.  I hope you enjoy this instead.

According to a quick Google search, there are 29 different hornbills in Southern Africa.  So far, I’ve seen 5 of them.  The variety of shapes and colours was the reason I wanted to create this post.

Now for the photos!
