Feathers





More feathers!

First is the speckled mousebird. The Hadzabe like hunting them because they are a little slow on the ball. At one point, the Hadzabe, almost hit the mousebird, and the thing still didn't flee. It was only after the second arrow went by that it moved. A little bit.

Next is the Baglafecht weaver. Male of the species reichenowi according to my excellent bird book: Birds of East Africa by Stevenson and Fanshawe.

Next is the common fiscal. Even though they are common, they have very interesting patterning.

Last is a ring necked dove.
