Hi

On Ross Turacos I have noticed in 3 instances small populations in Migori

Once at lichota
Twice at wuothogik some 10 km behind the town

All books I have indicate the range does not extend to migori

I have also failed to get decent photos too but working on it

Hi all,
 
I was also in the same area (Kamendi near River Chepkaitit ) a few weeks back and spotted a ross's turaco, a red-collared widowbird, a black-headed heron, two southern ground horn-bills, a black and white casqued-hornbill and a woodland kingfisher. I had a camera with me hence managed to take a few shots without flushing the beautiful creatures. However, I couldn't manage to take a shot of the Turaco. It's a pretty elusive one. Perhaps with a long lens and some much needed patience, it will allow me to take a snapshot someday.
 
happy birding,
 
Evans
