Birds of Southern Africa
Last September, photographer David Bogener and his wife Becky spent 23 fortunate days on safari in southern Africa. They visited camps in Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. For a biologist and a photographer it was, David says, “definitely a bucket list trip.” He will be sharing his crisp wildlife images from the trip including a few of the 140 life birds they recorded. Come learn of the African wildlife!
