10,000 Birds

During the rainy season the Rupununi River shares a watershed with the Amazon and is connected to several other water courses via flooded plains.

Birding Kabul, Afghanistan

10,000 Birds

But of course, you can skip them when getting near the end of this post – though that will mean not using your knowledge and skills to help Afghan women. And of course, there is a large number of Rock Doves (feral), particularly near one particular mosque. Oh god, I sound like the Pope now.
