Subject: [Tweeters] African bird ID help


My brother-in-law just got back from a trip to South Africa/Swaziland. He's got some amazing pictures of birds that he can't identify. Can anyone point me to an online source of bird IDs with pictures? Thanks! Elephants are easy, but the birds have him really stumped.


Here's one example. http://helmboldt.us/image001.jpg What's this birdie?
