Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, 9/5/2015
Yesterday my father and I drove out to Lake Apopka to see the wildlife drive. It amazes me that every time I visit something new seems to present itself. I suppose it’s not too surprising that this is the case right now, since migration is now in full swing. The biggest find for me was […]

Tribes and birds of the Lower Omo Valley by Adam Riley
Ethiopia, a landlocked country situated in the Horn of Africa, has firmly established itself as one of Africa’s top birding destinations. Its great diversity of habitats hosts an incredible bird count of over 900 species, including Africa’s 2nd highest list of endemics and near-endemics (after South Africa).
