While I’m not a birder, Rwandan birds and their songs are spectacular and really capture my interest. Even though I live in an area where there aren’t a lot of trees, there are plenty of birds, which are colorful and sing well. I must’ve seen 10 new species that we don’t have in the U.S. so far. The picture below is of two birds who alit on the ground just behind the staff room at school. They are black and white and I noticed that they hung out in the area where sunlight and shadow meet. Clever! The birds here have interesting behaviors, too. Because the outside of some of the windows of my house are mirrored, I occasionally get a bird who wants to battle it out with himself, sometimes at 6 a.m.
