Del's ID list
Zambia 2019 ( & Botswana & Zimbabwe)
My father (Delmont) enjoys bird identification.
So I turned over my trip photos to him, and this is his list.
➤ Same species seen in Europe
➤ Same genus as American Egret
➤ There are several sub-species in Africa.
Did you know that the hippo is the closest land relative of whales?
➤ An ugly stork that, unusually for a stork, makes its living as a scavenger
➤ A close relative of our Anhinga
➤ Same genus as the Eurasian Collard Dove, of which Will sent me a photo from San Francisco
➤ Also called Francolin - there are several species, and I can’t tell which this is
➤ Same genus as the American White Pelican
➤ National bird of Botswana
