During the late afternoon of August 21, 2012, we left Nxamaseri Island Lodge (Maun, Botswana) by boat and headed to the lagoon and solid ground where we boarded a safari vehicle to look for additional species. A male Greater Painted-Snipe, Rostratula benghalensis, shown in this photo was a pleasant surprise to see. It has white patches surrounding its eyes. A distinctive white band extends from the breast and reaches over the wings onto the bird's back. Upperparts are intricately patterned. Underparts are white. Temperatures were in the upper 80's with clear blue skies.
