The pin-tailed whydah is just one of the cool birds we see in Kenya on our safaris. And if it looks familiar, you might have seen one in Southern California where they are an introduced species. This is the male. The female lacks the long tail and is more brown in color. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1400, f/5.6 at 1/2500th of a second.
