Hamerkop
This Hamerkop, whose name comes from an Afrikaans word for hammer head, surprised us on our first day in Serengeti National Park by being in water right next to the road, about 15 feet from where our vehicle stopped. It was so preoccupied with hunting that it did not notice us. It is not related to the herons and is the only bird in its family.
