madagascar bird list with evil-tempered drongo

Note: We all seemed to go off in different directions, except when it was time to
hunt for raptors, so I don't think any two people on the tour will have the same bird list.
Here's mine. My numbers aren't coming out right, so I think I'm leaving something off that I'll
have to add later when I go over my notes more carefully, but for now, I'm getting
83 lifers added to the list from Madagascar and 60 lifers added from
South Africa.
And if it seems odd that I got more species in South Africa in one day, than I got in
Madagascar in three weeks, well, keep in mind that Madagascar is an island, with a tough island
ecology, so hunting down the different species was CONSIDERABLY more effort than a
breeze around a couple of reserves on the mainland. If you're just looking for numbers,
or if you need to make the most efficient use of your time, clearly,
South Africa is the way to go, but sometimes Peachfront has to be a little different.
I won't be meeting a lot of folks with Madagascar Serpent-Eagle on their life list coming and going
any time soon.
