  1. Birds of the Nile River By: Julia Pizzuti & Julie Laughlin

  2. (=<3Nile Valley Sunbird The Nile Valley Sunbird has beautiful shimmering royal blue and purple all over its body, except for that bright, sun-yellow patch on its stomach. Unlike the other birds in the Nile region which are birds of prey, which means they eat other animals, such as fish, rodents, and or insects. The Nile Valley Sunbird lives entirely on flower nectar, just like a Hummingbird.

  3. -Red Billed Ibis- Like many of the birds, in the Nile. This bird lives off of fish. Its known for its long Bill, amazing sense of balance & its powerful legs. Which is perfect for when they perch on Branches & catching its ‘dinner’.

  4. -Ferruginous Duck- The adult male is a chestnut color with a darker back and a yellow eye. The white under tail helps to set apart his species from the somewhat similar Tufted Duck.

  5. African Fish Eagle The African Fish Eagle is a large bird, and the female is larger than the males. Males usually have a wingspan of about 2 m (6 feet), while females have wingspans of more than 2.4 m (8 feet). The African Fish Eagle feeds mainly on fish, which, upon spying it from a perch in a tree, it will swoop down upon and snatch from the water with its large clawed talons and fly back to its perch to eat.
