Birds of Laikipia

Category: Birds | Date: Feb 09 2008 | By: tumaren

Here is a list of the birds of Tumaren. It can be used as a Bird List to Laikipia excluding only some of the more montane species that we don’t get east of the Ewaso Nyiro river and that might be found on the higher country on the Laikipia Plateau. I have never uploaded a pdf file in one of my blog post so i’m unsure if it will work. hope so.

Bird people. Please let me know your ideas or omissions.

James, not a bird expert, but the list looks pretty good to me. Some of my favorites are included, such as the Secretary Bird. Did you know this bird has been known to kill young gazelle! They usually use their beaks to kill their prey but they also can stomp their victims to death. Well, they’ve got to eat, too.
