Plus, any place you can see both 15 different raptors and 15 different mammals in the same day sounds worth a visit, doesn’t it? Murchison Falls NP truly excels as a place to see the kind of wild mammals Africa is legendary for. Denham’s Bustard is a beauty. If you want to follow our path, start in Masindi. Rock Pratincoles.

Sure, the Pearl of Africa has so much more for visitors to enjoy, including many of the most cherished mammal species on the planet, but the Shoebill seems to capture the imaginations of birders and non-birders alike. Having finally seen this iconic species, I can assure you that the experience wildly exceeds expectations.

Add those life mammals to the life birds I already expected to see, and I was practically vibrating with excitement. I have only ever seen one Peregrine Falcon, and the scoters and guillemot were lifers for me! We all boarded the bus, cameras and binoculars ready. Migrating Gray Whales. Point Reyes is a magical place.

That bald head, so odd and homely, is actually an adaptation for sticking one’s head deep inside the gut of a deceased mammal. They primarily prey on the large mammals of the African plains, grasslands stretching from horizon to horizon. Feathers can attract gunk, and gunk means bacteria, and bacteria means illness.
