    I love the effect of the others in the background. Looks like a very elegant and slender bird. Posted 9 years ago

      They're some of my favorite desert birds. And various members of the family had previously eluded me despite intensive searching in 6 countries, but when I got to that reserve, I saw 5 within minutes!
