On a peaceful plain somewhere in Africa there is a dude antelope just hanging out and not being chased by lions. For once he thinks he has a moment of peace, away from the drudgery of being chased by his predators. He would look something like this.   However,...

Birds are great. But I've never known any personally. I do know that life feels better when there are birds around. Sure, the crows and seagulls can be pesky. But yet they are entertaining too. The birds of Africa are of a style, grace and number that I've...
