Dancing Mad God

L is for Lapwing — in this case, the Blacksmith Lapwing of southern Africa. Named for its alarm call, not its physique.

I is for Impala. Love the antennæ.

H is for Hammerkop: the platypus of the bird world, occupying a genus all of its own. Like certain other species, Hammerkops are compulsive nest builders. Possibly as part of the pair bonding process, they construct several nests each year, complete with domed roofs and entrance passageways.
