10,000 Birds

NOVEMBER 5, 2014

We were staying at the Jacana Lodge, a posh lodge perched on a small lake, as it was a convenient layover between the more touristy northern part of the park and the forest park of Bwindi (home to the gorillas). Bats, it seems, are the reservoir of many zoonoses that cause humans, and other creatures, so many issues.

Birding here is a joy, further augmented by the world’s most intact mammalian megafuana, fascinating tribal cultures, breath-taking scenery and the cradle of human history. Nowhere in the world are birds as colorful, easy to see and abundant as in Africa! And Africa is the ONLY continent without an extinct bird to boot!

This remote region of Cryptosepalum forests is little changed by human hands (somewhat of a rarity in these times of devastating habitat destruction) yet this species has not been relocated despite extensive searches by birders (including myself). This image is from Bwindi Impenetrable Gorilla National Park, Uganda.
