> Gray Go-away-bird

From a boat in the Okavango Delta region of Botswana, I caught the image of this pair.  Their voice is a drawn-out   "g' waay".  Sometimes this bird will shriek and growl like a cat.  Usually found near the water.

 > Saddle-billed Stork
It was morning in the Okavango Delta of Botswana as we watched this Saddle-billed Stork take off.  Considered to be the most attractive bird in Africa, it is also one of the largest.  Its habitat is the marsh land and the edges of fresh and salt water lakes.

 > In the Okavango Delta of Botswana, I was in a boat looking for birds and luckily spotted this Lilac-breasted Roller. This bird scans for large insects from low perches and explodes in a riot of color when giving chase.  Their call is a loud harsh squawk, 'zaaak'.  Rollers get their name from their impressive courtship flight, a fast, shallow dive from considerable elevation with a rolling or fast rocking motion, accompanied by loud raucous calls.
