Northern Wheatear
The Northern Wheatear is a sub-Saharan migrant. Some these birds who winter in sub-Saharan Africa spend the summer in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, sometimes in tundra habitat. They also summer in the open country in Asia and Europe. The name has nothing to do with grain or hearing organs. You can see the white rump, and wheatear is a corruption of white arse. This one was at our Ndutu campsite.
