Grosbeak Weaver
Gibbs Farm is a haven for birds and flowers. There is a special garden for these weaver birds.
We wanted to see his irridescent colors in flight, nothing could make him move off his perch.
Vultures
Clean up on the plains during migration. There at least 3 types of vultures here plus the Maribou stork

There were a lot of these white storks on the Serengiti
