Common Hoopoe
This hoopoe flew from the path just as I was driving out of the Galibore camp, and sat on a fallen bark waiting for me to pass quickly so that it could resume foraging on the trail.

Lesser Fishing Eagle
We see these eagles every time we visit Galibore. This magnificent individual had just returned wet, presumably from a very recent fishing sortie, and was drying its feathers on a dry branch by the ricer bank.
