Back from recce


I just got back from a recce through Bushmanland and Namaqualand, South Africa, and Fish River Canyon, Namibia. The trip was a great success--we found all of our main target birds--Stark's, Sclater's, Red, and Barlow's Larks, Burchell's and Double-banded Coursers, a variety of raptors including Black-chested Snake Eagle and Martial Eagle, four species of bustards, and some great mammals. Over the next week I'll be publishing pictures and stories from the trip (see the first couple below). Stay tuned!

Cinnamon-breasted Warbler was a a target of the trip.
This individual was incredibly cooperative.
