Ethiopian Birds
Hi everyone,
As many of you know I got the incredible chance to go to Ethiopia this past year. One of the best daily activities while I was over there was birding. Every flap (bird flying) was a flash  .
Anyway, I posted some of the bird pictures I took. I have more, but don't know what kind of birds they are, so here the one with ID's.
Enjoy

Very nice pictures and beautiful birds. I love bird pictures.
I never thought I would see a pretty Starling.  Ours are ugly and bothersome.

Tell me about it! I couldn't believe the books or my professor when they said they were Starlings.

Wow-o-wow-o-wowee-wow! 
I guess I'm going to have to put Ethiopia on my places to travel list. Birds, photography and travel are three of my other passions. Gee Tindo, if you happen to like to knit we are soul mates!
