Species: Helmeted Guineafowl | Location: Etosha, Namibia
I was in Namibia and hanging out in my cabin during the mid-day break. I saw and heard a flock of guineafowl heading in my direction. I got into position and waited to see what would happen. Most of them came close to the building as they were looking for seed hand-outs and water. These two seemed a little bit more shy. They suddenly started to move in concert. They continued to mimic each other's movements for several minutes. This is one of the pictures I took while they were doing this.

About The Photographer
I'm an avid traveler who is trying to see as many areas of the world as possible. My goal is to see these environments before they are significantly impacted by climate change. I was shooting Nikon, but switched to Canon in 2014. Macros of flowers and plants were my first SLR subjects, but once I purchased longer lenses I've added birds, mammals and pretty much anything that moves. After each trip I make presentations in the local community, to try to build awareness of these areas and the issues that they face. Hopefully this will encourage more people to contribute to the support of these fragile environments
