A new genus for the American Tree Sparrow. Slager and John Klicka propose the new genus name Spizelloides for American Tree Sparrow , which is not a Spizella sparrow and is instead distantly related to Fox Sparrow , Zonotrichia , and the juncos. And more sparrow shake-ups to come. Elephant birds and their kiwi kin.

We were woefully under-prepared in terms of planning – which almost kept us from meeting our friends – but we were also surprised and thrilled to learn that not only were Gray Whales migrating past the lighthouse, but Elephant Seals were lounging on a nearby beach! White-crowned Sparrow. Elephant Seals. Think again!

If you’ve ever imagined being surrounded by giraffes, up close (at least as close as is safe) and personal with elephants, or one night drive away from seeing notorious predators like leopards and jackals, this is the place for you. Murchison Falls NP truly excels as a place to see the kind of wild mammals Africa is legendary for.

It’s the only park I have ever been to that not only have I seen all five of the Big Five (Lion, Leopard, African Buffalo, White Rhino and African Elephant) in, but seen them all on the same day. Madikwe has perhaps too many elephants. Black-backed Jackals are awesome and smaller than you’d think. But they are very cute!
