A brilliant yellow bird with a dark mask and black streaks on flight feathers and back. This weaver lives across part of east and northeast Africa.

Baglafecht weaver in Ngorongoro Crater, in the stand of yellow-barked acacia where there is near-surface freshwater. Love the mask on these fellows.

Great sightings. Bitterns are the one heron around here I have yet to see.

Right??? My belted kingfisher sightings are usually from a distance!

Great shot. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to next time, superstar :)

Not my regular Friday. But a memorable one.

Thanks to my wonderful friend @karlykehoe.bsky.social for the front row picture (also induction day for her!).

Awesome.

I never ever get tired of bee eaters, and I trust I never will. A pair of little bee eaters, hanging out in Lake Manyara National Park, #Tanzania.

Just so beautiful. Found a quartet of these lovely birds huddling together on a branch against the morning cold in the Karatu highlands just south of Ngorongoro. Thanks for the perfect picture and reminder this morning.

YouTube video by Scott Burden Kimberle Crenshaw Intersectionality NOT identity

Misunderstandings of intersectionality as about identity (👎🏽) versus structure (👍🏽) are so frustrating. Even when people cite Crenshaw, they miss her theoretical sophistication because of their own preoccupation with identity.

Here is the professor in her own words.

COOL!!!!!!!

Perfect and beautiful. Appreciated this splash of colour and symmetry this morning. Thank you for sharing.

This is a terrific find. Wonderful to see this. Thanks for sharing.

American robin fledgling that has just left the nest. Could fly a little bit, and wasn’t too worried by me. Still with a lively speckled breast.

HELLO THERE, from this white-browed coucal in #Serengeti. And happy #flyday.

Understand that feeling! They really are charisma-challenged :)

Yeesh :/

Very large wading bird with a large, multi-colored bill and a gleaming black head. This saddle-billed stork was in Tarangire National Park in the Silale wetland.

This one is not a happy looking sort at all. Other stork species can be a lot more charismatic! Here is a saddle-billed stork as a charisma-cleanser.

Spectacular work!! Love the in-flight picture especially. Perfect.

Beautiful. I love these birds and I hope you do see them if you haven’t yet.

Very tall bird hanging out on the ground in a public camping area

Marabou stork, hanging out with the humans in our Serengeti campground. Truly massive #birds and not all that lovely up close. Adapted for digging into carcasses but pretty good at food containers also.

YES! She was surely a profoundly good person. That’s an example to try to follow.

African wild dog in Tarangire National Park. One of the world’s rarest species, Tanzania has had success reintroducing this amazing predator to its national parks. There is hope for, and to be found in, conservation.

It’s just heart-breaking. I am trying to console myself with the certainty that hers was truly a life well-lived. Still feels like a profound loss. Wonderful you had the chance to meet with her!!

Jane Goodall, primate expert and conservationist, dies aged 91 Goodall was a pioneer in her field, both as a female scientist in the 1960s and for her work studying the behavior of primates

Earth lost a conservationist and scientist like no other, and I am saddened profoundly by this news. Dr. Jane Goodall changed lives and attitudes about conservation and respect for nature wherever she went. A gifted leader in every way.
