The birds that I have experience with, like some of the raptors, wading birds, shorebirds, and tanagers, are all true-to-life in color, shape, and proportions to say nothing of being pretty paintings, if slightly sterile on the standard plain white background. of species of bird that birders the world over desperately want to experience.

Informed literature bears out my experience that most birds are seen singly or in pairs. The former British colony’s Z.c. melli strain is one of as many as 12 races and shows a lighter face than many of the others. To describe the back as grey makes it sound very drab, but in good light it takes on a bluish hue. Thanks for visiting!

A range of animals come to satisfy their need for salt or the soothing effects of the clay along the river banks of the region.

Again, Poe provides the anwer: Regarding, then, Beauty as my province, my next question referred to the tone of its highest manifestation- and all experience has shown that this tone is one of sadness.
