I think most of you know how important our National Wildlife Refuge system is to me. After all, I have written several posts on wildlife conservation and the Wildlife Conservation Pass that my co-founder Ingrid Taylar and I have been encouraging for years. I hope you enjoy it.

The Shoebill serves as the symbol of the magnificent wildlife experiences Uganda offers visitors, which may seem a bit odd. That honor goes to the Gray-crowned Crane , a very sexy species in its own right. After all, the Shoebill isn’t endemic to the country; only Fox’s Weaver currently holds that title. Malachite Kingfisher.

This actually benefits our local wildlife, because the rainwater then gets trapped in the borrow pit and in some instances it will sustain the wildlife right through our dry months when there is no rainfall at all. The borrow pit has one deep section of water and it is popular with Australasian Grebes. Intermediate Egret.

It actually looked like the station owner was breeding birds rather than cattle! This group were hanging out with some Plumed Whistling Ducks. Juvenile Black-winged Stilt The water is still right to the edge of the road and it may well stay like that for quite some time.

Each of the dark marks in this photo from August, 2018 was a duck. But such a shallow water depth doesn’t work for our many duck species, and these, along with most gulls, terns, grebes, and larger shorebirds, were nowhere to be seen after the first two weeks of January. But mostly, there was just lots and lots of water.

There has been one for the last couple winters at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, but I don’t think anyone has gotten as close to it as I got to the one at the Queens Zoo. Wicked, right? Cats Are Still Public Enemy Number One, For Birds The New York Times and Tweety have it absolutely correct. Hat-tip to Stella.
