Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.

We just happened to stop in time to catch a photo of this Meadowlark-like bird. Learning on the go. Masai Mara, Kenya.

This was probably the rarest bird we saw on the trip. Status is uncertain due to pressure on its rainforest habitat; in Kenya it is restricted to one forest block at Kakamega.

It was one of those memorable instances when keeping up with each exotic and new species was difficult. Mount Kenya north of Nairobi.

The only place in Kenya that appears to have the habitat to support this woodpecker is Kakamega Rainforest. Unfortunately the photo conditions in the forest were tricky and this species was seen for just a few seconds.

The Brown-eared Woodpecker has almost no range in Kenya. Luckily we found one at the Kakamega Rainforest in western Kenya near Kisumu.

There were very few woodpeckers seen on this Kenya trip. This species was seen at Lake Naivasha, as per the map indicator.
