What a lovely looking bird.

While we certainly have some very cool things here, I do envy other parts of the world for their colorful birds. Most of ours are variations on the "little brown bird". Posted 11 years ago

  Ah but then, don't you have some of the larger magnificent raptors? However, I still find the LBJ's as we call them just as interesting as the more colourful ones. Posted 11 years ago

    Indeed, we do have a pretty large population of bald eagles that comes down for the winter to feed on spawning salmon. I intend to rent a big long lens and take an eagle tour sometime this winter. I also want to go up and see the snow goose migration. Posted 11 years ago

The Knysna Turaco

The Knysna Turaco, or, in South Africa, Knysna Lourie, is a large turaco, one of a group of African near-passerine birds. It is a resident breeder in the mature evergreen forests of southern and eastern South Africa, and Swaziland. It was formerly sometimes considered to be a subspecies of the Green Turaco of West Africa. The Livingstone's and Schalow's Turacos were once considered subspecies.
