Shoebill
The bird I most wanted to see on the trip was a Shoebill, and I saw them on two days. On the Nile cruise in Murchison Falls National Park, I saw a female who was about 50 meters away and then moved to within about 25 meters. The bird was cooperative and stayed relatively still for a long time. She also moved around a bit. One of the primary foods of the Shoebill is the lungfish, and we watched as she stalked her prey. At one point, I saw her lose a feather.
