AFRICAN BIRDS - MY SECONDS Photo Gallery by Terry Thormin at pbase.com

AFRICAN BIRDS - MY SECONDS

While on this trip, I tried to take photos of every species of bird I saw, no matter how poor the photo was. The reason was that I wanted to put up galleries that were functional, that people could use to learn what to expect if planning a trip to a specific area, and to hone their identification skill. For this purpose a great photo is not needed, only one that is diagnostic. These photos are the result. Although some are good enough that they could have been placed in the first bird gallery, others are so poor that I would normally not put them on Pbase, were it not for what I am trying to achieve. Look for them also in upcomming galleries that are location specific.
