We were up early and out birding around Huab before breakfast on August 14, 2012. This photograph shows the back of a Crowned Lapwing, Vanellus coronatus. This species has a distinctive white crown or ring around the top of the head surrounding a black cap. The black-tipped bill is bright red as are the legs. Upperparts, neck, and chest are brownish, and the belly is white. Temperatures were in the low 70's on this clear morning with blue skies.
