The Wikipedia Talk page for the Hadada Ibis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hadada_ibis) contains a nice little diatribe as to whether this is a Hadada, Hadeda, or Hadida. However, the page is considered “Low-importance” on the Wikipedia Bird Project scale.

The talk page for the Wikipedia Bird Project does not discuss whether “Low-importance” should be hyphenated. It does, however, state the position that ALL birds are of low importance by default and must have done something of note to be elevated to a higher status. No one can seem to agree about the chicken and the goose.

This ibis, however, doesn’t care.

So I was staring at this tree because someone said “Yeah, the lion went in there and vanished. When she comes out, I’m sure you’ll get a great shot.”

I was set up, pre-focused, and waiting.

Then the boulder turned around and looked at me.

Gorillas are also available in “Small”.

Y’all know what the bee is helping the flower do. This is foreplay.

It’s actually a lot easier to sneak up on these guys than you’d think. Though, to be fair, I’ve never seen them in the wild so maybe the ones in zoos just don’t care enough to run away when they hear you.

In some respects, spherical nests make sense, but it also seems that it would be hard to escape if a predator got in there. I wonder if, as a result, weaverbirds are more flighty than birds that can escape off of a nest.

I’ve been told that, have you colour vision, this photo is rather striking.
