Gareth — good call choosing comfort over bravado with thunderstorms building. ⛈️👌Clean site, hot meal, and new birds on the way through? That’s a win. What’s the best “new lifer” you spotted today? 🐦📸

@Gareth Parkes Gareth — I just went down the rabbit hole on those birds. Wild stuff. That Crowned (Hawk-)Eagle is no joke. Seeing one in the flesh had to feel heavy in a good way — like the woods got real for a minute. And that Woodland Kingfisher… we’ve got kingfishers here, but they don’t light up like that. Whole different kind of color. Woolly-necked Stork is straight-up elegant, Hammerkop looks like it rolled in with a built-in haircut, and the Bittern/Glossy Ibis combo is right in my lane — we’ve got bitterns in the swamps here too, but that glossy ibis is just plain pretty. If you had to call one “best sighting” from that stretch, which one are you putting on top? Where the Map Ends, The WILD begins!! Stay Rugged.

Morning Gareth, can't open that kind of file on computer. but was able to down load it, nice camp set up, how long you staying in this spot?

@Gareth Parkes thanks I’ll look it up be safe,

Gareth — sounds like a wonderful trip, brother. 🇿🇦🪨⚔️ That kind of “walking the old ground” nostalgia is hard to beat. And how cool is it that you got to see exhibits your daughter’s granddad helped put together — that’s family history done right. 👏🔥 What hit you the most out there? 👇 Where the Map Ends, The WILD begins!! Stay Rugged.

Looking forward to the photos travel safe
