Long Time Gone

Yellow-billed Kite

It has been a while, since I have last posted. After I returned from Governors Camp I departed immediately for Lake Baringo, in the Central Rift Valley. I spent several days birding the surrounding area, including taking a boat ride out onto the lake, which was flooded and had displaced many people, and destroyed several lodges and campgrounds, one which I had been planning to stay at. Needless to say, I found other accommodations and had a wonderful time.

After returning to Nairobi, I left for the coast, to Watamu. I just returned from there back to Nairobi after a week of birding on the coast, with David Ngala. (More about him soon)

Tomorrow is my last day in Kenya, and I plan to go on another safari to "clean up" on a few missed bird species, and to try and spot a rhinoceros. 

Stay tuned for more updates, stories, and photo essays which will be coming soon (I have several long airplane rides to work on them)

Cheers,

CC
