That’s a lot, and the organizers of the safari did an excellent job of creating an environment that offered small group birding during the day and a birders party every night. The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators. One thing did bother me. Wait, let’s backtrack a bit.

It’s very hard to organize the many ways in which human beings relate to avian beings into comprehensible text. We worship birds, we hunt birds, we protect birds, and, yes, we eat birds.
