African Safaris
Meet the Colorful Kingfishers of Southern Africa
It’s pretty cool, whether you’re a “bird person” or not, to catch a glimpse of a kingfisher. Maybe it’s because their outsized heads, squat bodies, stubby tails, and long, sharp bills lend them a whimsical Wind-in-the-Willows, storybook quality. Or maybe it’s that they don’t look like they should be very good at catching fish.
