For the Birds

One new past-time we've learned to appreciate in Najile is bird-watching.  Neither of us ever considered bird-watching "fun" or really understood why somebody would be interested in sitting and watching birds for hours on end.  However, here in Najile the birds basically have come to us.  We have a great tree with yellow flowers that attracts a wide variety of "exotic" birds.  Today's new find was the African Hoopoe.  I've never seen this bird before and was surprised by its contrasting colors and strange head feathers.  If you can watch birds while checking the Phillies score on your computer (like Matt did this morning), that's bird-watching we can get into!
