We were struck by the diversity of birds in such a small area. Apologies that these were mainly taken with an iPhone, not a real camera.

This one is opening its wings to gather some heat from the sun.
The guinea fowl are everywhere; we resorted to calling them "Chobe chickens", since they are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain.
The fish eagle was the main raptor that we saw.
The white-backed vulture.
A good example of a dozen different species of birds all sharing the watering hole.
The gray lourie, also called the "go away" bird because its call sounds like "go away".
More guinea fowl; their necks and heads are iridescent aqua in the sunlight.
Probably a hammerkop based on the head shape.
The most colorful bird we saw; it looks almost fake.
There were several species of wading birds as well.
An African lapwing with its yellow wattle.

The red-billed hornbill, or Zazu from "The Lion King". There we also yellow-billed hornbills.
