First, let’s start with the good: Scientific testing of drones near birding hotspot Cape May, NJ has been postponed to avoid messing with Red Knots and Piping Plovers (like the cutie above that Corey photographed there a few years back). (On Penguins are also being touted as a way to gauge the health of oceans.).
Catherine Ngarachu’s “50 Top Birding Sites in Kenya” (published by Penguin Random House South Africa) is the first detailed guide to the country’s best birding sites. The only thing left for me is to test this guide within Kenya. The post 50 Top Birding Sites in Kenya review appeared first on 10,000 Birds.
