Tanzania XIII. Birds from the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is a high plain about 100 miles east of Lake Manyara. It's dotted with lakes and rivers now in the wet season. The tree density varies from moderate to sparse. Here are another bunch of birds. Many of the birds we saw at all three stops, but I have avoided repeat pix for the most part.

Speckle-fronted weaver.
Superb starling.
