Bird Watching
It is said to be an ornithologist’s paradise. 850
species of birds (16 of them are endemic) inhabit Ethiopia. Having an
extensive highland surrounded by arid lands, has enabled the evolution
of many birds in the region into unique forms and species.
Ethiopia is full of spectacular wild encounters, but
few can beat the bright bombardment of her beautiful bird life. The salty
land of the rift valley suck the precious rain in to the Earth and the
sun bakes its surface without respite.
It's hard to imagine any living thing surviving in this
savage wilderness. But look closely, and you will see some remarkable
life not only surviving-but thriving. |
