Instagram post 2194100506820202410_22210946701 Hamerkop is amazingly abundant in Uganda: we’ve seen multiples nearly every day we’ve been here. Their abundance might make them less exciting for birders to see but they are really fun birds to watch and digiscope. Also, they keep theft of carpentry tools at record lows. #africanbirdingexpo #pearlofafrica #hamerkop #digiscoping #birdstagram  #birdsofinstagram #birds #uganda #dadjokes
Instagram post 2193639819140456841_22210946701 Gray-crowned Crane is the national bird of #uganda  And no wonder! Look at it! It’s shockingly gorgeous! #africanbirdingexpo #pearlofafrica #graycrownedcrane #birds #birdstagram #birdsoginstagram #cranes
Instagram post 2193445769263390710_22210946701 Red-necked Francolin in Murchison Falls National Park. These birds are common and awesome to watch, a great combination! #birdsofinstagram #birdstagram #africanbirdingexpo #africanbirdingexpo2019 #pearlofafrica #redneckedfrancolin #birds
Instagram post 2192265038646379170_22210946701 African Blue Flycatcher, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda. Quite a brilliant little bird, and easy to find in #uganda #africanbirdingexpo2019 #africanbirdingexpo #africanblueflycatcher #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram #birds #pearlofafrica

Instagram post 2190475165945831183_22210946701 A Mountain Gorilla gnaws on a tree in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. They chew on these trees for fiber and nutrition. Being so close to such magnificent creatures was mind-blowing. #mountaingorilla #africanbirdingexpo #africanbirdingexpo2019

Instagram post 2186857059482773821_22210946701 Short-toed Snake-Eagle, Murchison Falls National Park. This bird isn’t very common in Uganda and we were pleased to find one perched cooperatively in good light. Though it’s called a snake-eagle because of its eating habits it does kind of resemble a snake. #birds #africanbirdingexpo #africanbirdingexpo2019 #raptors #birdsofprey #shorttoedsnakeeagle #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram
