Brad took this closeup of an Egyptian Goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus) while it stood on the shore of the Zambezi River above Victoria Falls the morning of August 25, 2012. We were out on an early morning boat trip to bird and look for big game in the Mosi-oa-Tunya (smoke that thunders) National Park's shoreline areas. Temperatures on this sunny day were in the low 70's. The bird's pinkish bill, chocolate-brown colored eye-patch surrounding a yellow eye, black nostrils, and facial features are highlighted in the photo.
