Saddle-billed Stork - Victoria Nile River, Murchison Falls National Park, Paraa, Uganda
Bird Species # (572) that I photographed and placed on my Flickr Photostream. Overall goal is 1000.
Morning river cruise on the Victoria Nile from Paraa to the Delta. Private small boat trip provided by Wild Frontiers Uganda Safaris.
On this trip to Uganda we used Ngoni Safaris Uganda. They provided excellent service. I highly recommend them.

Young Green Heron siblings tap each other’s bill as a social greeting.
These juveniles are still displaying their immature plumage, including the downy fuzz on their heads. I love those green eyes!
Lawton Pond rookery, Sea Pines, Hilton Head Island, USA
It wasn't easy to capture this dear little duck as he kept diving under the water.

Fourth installment in my brown bird series. This long-billed sandpiper is the largest North American shorebird. It spends the summer on the grasslands of the arid west, appearing on coastal mudflats only in migration and winter, and even then likely to be on prairies instead. It often occurs alongside the Marbled Godwit, which is very similar in size and color pattern; but the godwit's bill curves up, not down.
We found this one along the beach at Packery Channel on Padre Island, Texas.

The Red billed Quelea is a small passerine bird of the Ploceidae family. It is found only in Africa. There are more Quelea than any other bird species in the world, they number over 1.5 billion. Single colonies may have as many as 30 million. This was a shot at a densely packed flock.
Stork-Billed Kingfisher, Pelargopsis capensis, Pekaka Emas
This is a very large kingfisher, measuring up to 38 cm in length. The call of this species is noisy. Stork-billed kingfisher is a species of a variety of well-wooded habitats near lakes, rivers or coasts. It perches quietly whilst seeking food, and is often inconspicuous despite its size. It is territorial and will chase away eagles and other large predators. This species hunts fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and young birds. The nest is dig in a river bank, in the decaying tree, or maybe a tree termite nest.
This was a bird I hoped we would get to see and photograph while in Manitoba. One evening we were driving along a dirt road and a bird flew across the road right in front of us nearly at eye level. I said to David who was driving that I thought that was a Black-billed Cuckoo. We pulled over and got out and sure enough heard one calling. It was perched close to the road for this shot, socked in some dense vegetation. We had a small opening in the vegetation to get this shot.

It was also used in the movies Crossroads and True Confessions.
It is actually called The Sanctuary Adventist Church and before that it was the Calvary Baptist Church.
Keel-Billed Toucan, Caribbean Rainforest, Costa Rica
Though we don’t have a huge variety of species of hummingbirds in the United States, we do have some pretty neat looking ones. We were fortunate to see several species of hummingbirds on our recent Arizona trip including the one that I think is my personal favorite for the USA; the Broad-billed Hummingbird. I always though this bird should have had a flashier name, considering other hummingbird names I have seen. I mean, it does have a pretty cool looking beak but with all that color, the broad-bill just isn’t the standout feature to me. Hey, what do I know? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this beauty at least half as much as I did.

Cynanthus latirostris
Did some photography at a new location. The majority of the east side of the marsh is in deep shadows for most of the morning, allowing me to capture this grebe moving in and out of the light.

The groove-billed ani (crotophaga sulcirostris) is a tropical bird in the cuckoo family with a long tail and a large, curved beak. It is a resident species throughout most of its range, from southern Texas, central Mexico and The Bahamas, through Central America, to northern Colombia and Venezuela, and coastal Ecuador and Peru. The groove-billed ani lives in small groups of one to five breeding pairs. They defend a single territory and lay their eggs in one communal nest. All group members incubate the eggs and care for the young.

152) Green-Billed Malkoha
Green-Billed Malkoha, Phaenicophaeus tristis, Cenuk Besar
This is a species of non-parasitic cuckoo found throughout South and Southeast Asia. The Green-billed Malkoha is the largest among Malkohas growing up to 60 cm long with very long tail. They are easily identified by its red skin around the eyee. This bird prefers forest edge, normally seen at roadside along the forest edges. This is a bird of the lowland jungle and swamp forest. But this one i shoot at Cameron Highlands, away from it usual habitat.
Cenuk Besar dibezakan dengan Cenuk lain oleh celak putih disekeliling kulit merah yang juga di sekeliling matanya. Saiznya juga lebih besar. Seperti Cenuk lain juga ia gemar menyusup di celah celah daun ketika mencari makan, menyukarkan peluang untuk mendapat gambar yang elok. Yang ini mungkin tidak perasan kehadiran saya, bertenggek sebentar di luar daun untuk diambil gambarnya.

Wikipedia: The yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) is a member of the cuckoo family. Common folk names for this bird in the southern United States are rain crow and storm crow. These likely refer to the bird's habit of calling on hot days, often presaging rain or thunderstorms. The genus name is from the Ancient Greek kokkuzo, which means to call like a common cuckoo, and americanus means "of America".
Their breeding habitat is deciduous woods from southern Canada to Mexico and the Caribbean. They migrate to Central America and as far south as northern Argentina. This bird is a rare vagrant in western Europe.
Conservation status: Least Concern

Thank you for your visit, comment and/or fave. It is greatly appreciated!
A Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis) adult arrives in the spring and roosts with other adults in preparation for selecting a mate and setting up a nesting territory on the appropriate wetland habitat. The staging site for these gullet this time was Hawrelak Park, a wetland and recreation area within the central portion of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
It is identifiable as a breeding adult because of the rosy hew or tinge in the breast feathers.

Eventually he made me feel like I was in the front row for this performance after all.
Blue-billed Duck (Oxyura Australis)
Boat-billed herons are widely distributed along the coast and mangrove swamps from Mexico to Brazil, most of the time they hide behind twigs and leaves, so lucky i found a window to get an almost clean shot of it. Oaxaca, Mexico
These cute grebes were seen passing each other (not friends I guess !) at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. However, they are both breeding indicated by the black vertical stripes on their bills
