Red and yellow barbet, showing off wonderful colours. This bird is on the cover of my East African bird book for a good reason! Barbets are woodpecker relatives with spiky feathers.

I never ever get tired of bee eaters, and I trust I never will. A pair of little bee eaters, hanging out in Lake Manyara National Park, #Tanzania.

Misunderstandings of intersectionality as about identity (👎🏽) versus structure (👍🏽) are so frustrating. Even when people cite Crenshaw, they miss her theoretical sophistication because of their own preoccupation with identity.
Here is the professor in her own words.

Marabou stork, hanging out with the humans in our Serengeti campground. Truly massive #birds and not all that lovely up close. Adapted for digging into carcasses but pretty good at food containers also.

African wild dog in Tarangire National Park. One of the world’s rarest species, Tanzania has had success reintroducing this amazing predator to its national parks. There is hope for, and to be found in, conservation.

Earth lost a conservationist and scientist like no other, and I am saddened profoundly by this news. Dr. Jane Goodall changed lives and attitudes about conservation and respect for nature wherever she went. A gifted leader in every way.

Tango the Rescue Parrot in part of his native habitat. He has lots of personality and loves hanging with his humans. I am not sure why feet drive him into a velociraptor-like frenzy, but it’s weird and freaky being chased slowly by a 120g bird.

Black-headed heron perched on a scary thorn in #Serengeti National park, #tanzania. August, 2025. There were so many herons in Serengeti - some recent rains led to lots of standing water. And a lot of happy herons.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

The world’s heaviest flier, Kori Bustard, who mostly walks around savannahs munching whatever it can find. Males can be very large indeed, almost 20kg. This fellow was strolling around Ngorongoro Crater, August 2025.

Large numbers of Grey-crowned cranes at Ngorongoro Crater this year. Never seen so many - 200+. Some juveniles too, a lovely sight for this endangered species. The chance to observe social behaviours in this group was wonderful for my students and I.
