Begging For A BIF

I had to get a BIF picture of the Long-tailed Widowbird.  I recalled that the tour literature specifically stated that the leader would not make special accommodations for photography (it would slow down the trip considerably if the group had to wait for the bird photographers to get all the shots they wanted).  Nevertheless, I begged Josh to let me take some BIF shots of these wondrous birds in flight, so he arranged an extended “rest stop” that happed to be near where some of these birds were flying about.  Just amazing that they are able to fly with all those feathers trailing behind.  Thanks, Josh!
