Sound on! 🌅 In Amboseli National Park, the birds greet the sunrise with a symphony of songs. In this clip alone, you can easily hear more than a dozen species calling! 🦜

Our biodiversity scientist and expert bird identifier, Wilson Kasaine, notes just a few of the following species in the recording: Darnaud’s Barbet, Ring-necked Dove, White-headed Buffalo-Weaver, Superb Starling, Chinspot Batis, Emerald-Spotted Wood-Dove, Blue-capped Cordonbleu, Blue-naped Mousebird, Banded Parisoma, Rattling Cisticola, and White-browed Sparrow-Weaver.

The rich avian biodiversity in Amboseli is the inspiration behind our brand-new Birds of Amboseli book and accompanying art exhibit (debuting July 3rd at Portland Public Library 🖼️)
