10,000 Birds

JUNE 25, 2017

My transition from being a kid interested in all kinds of animals to being a full-on birder happened when I was around 11 years old, in the early 1980s (oh dear!). I was given my first real field guide to the birds of Europe by my parents, a guide beyond the species found at backyard feeders and city ponds. This made me truly sad.

Joseph Chiera is a Masters student in Animal Behavior and Conservation at Hunter College in NYC and a “somewhat newbie” to birding. After taking an ornithology course last year, he was hooked and spends most of his free time birding or reading birding blogs. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found in the park that sunny day.

Inside the camps, you are allowed to walk around freely – outside, this privilege is reserved for the animals. For some reason, the largest member of the heron family is not called the Great Heron nor the Giant Heron but rather the Goliath Heron. Skukuza is the largest camp and the administrative center of Kruger Park.

It turns out that people are not the only ones, who can adopt children – animals are good at this as well. Although, it is not for the first time when inter-species adoption occurs, but every single case is getting more and more exciting – animals can not only be friends, but parents and brothers as well.
