Decidedly Dashing 4345

The Taveta Golden Weaver is just one of the many varieties of weavers to inhabit sub-Saharan Africa. Male weavers tend to be flamboyantly colored, usually yellow or orange. This species has a band of orange-chestnut across its hind crown. Weavers are most noted for the elaborately woven nests. They are arguably some of the most elaborate nests of any bird in the world. Though the materials used for building these nest varies from leaf fibers and grass to twigs in different species, the final results are intricate, elaborate, and fascinating. Decidedly dashing birds can make some decidedly dashing nests, too! #iLoveWildlife #iLoveNature #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Serengeti #Birds #Weavers #TavetaGoldenWeaver #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation
