Title: Please help identify
Post by cywong on Sep 28^th, 2003, 7:58pm

Would experienced birders please help identify these birds? Both photos were taken in Kenya in September 2003. Thank you for your expert opinion .

Hi cywong, ;D

Thank you for sharing your stunning photos with us. They are very beautiful but their sizes are too large for displaying in BBS (over 200k in size).
Please note the size and format requirements of the photos to be posted in the BBS! >:(

The first photo looks like a female BLACK-THROATED APLIS, fairly common in Kenya highlands, mostly in forest-edge trees.

Sorry can't help you out on the second bird, some sort of female weaver bird.

Hope this helps

Hi Forrest,

I am sorry that I was not aware the large file sizes of my photos, I just converted them to 640pixels x 480pixels images before uploading.
Next time, I'll check the file size before uploading.
