South African "Other" Birds!

So these guys didn't fit in any other category...

Helmeted Guinea Fowl

 

Red-billed Oxpecker (on a rhinoceros)

 

Striped Kingfisher - singing with open beak - he sang a good long time while we sat nearby.

 

Pied Kingfishers (on a bush near a river)

 

Magpie Shrike (now there's a tail for you! That whole long black thing is his tail; it just goes on and on)

 

Fork-tailed Drongo (these like to follow animals like rhinos to eat the bugs disturbed from the grasses as they graze)

 

Black-backed Puffback

 

African Green Pigeon (or it would be green, if it had been sunny and we'd had more light...)
