I could swear I heard whippoorwills calling, for a fullminute or so. I don't think whippoorwills are native to Africa...maybethey have a bird there that sounds like one?

This was on the site in the info under the screen:

Nkorho pan is named afterNkorho bush Lodge which gets it name from the Shangaanderivative for the call of the yellow-billed hornbill, a common andunusual looking bird from this area.

Could that be what you're hearing?

 

[Snuggys Mom]

Oh, my. That's definitely a BULL elephant!

hehe...I have no idea, Snuggys Mom! I just heard a bird that soundedidentical to the distinct 'whip-poor-will' cry that identifieswhippoorwills. I imagine there are so many different sounds coming fromthe wilds of Africa, that many creatures probably sound like others.Though I'd be curious to hear what the yellow-billed hornbill soundslike (too bad they didn't have a narrator who could help identify thevarious bird calls and animal noises).

Argh!! Every time I turn it on, I only get to watch the bugs! Lol!!

I never turn it on when things are happening...I think the animals know I'm tuning in, hehe!

Hey WAIT!! A skunk!! Hehe...my daughter and I justwatched that skunk in utter fascination...can ya tell we never see anyanimals??

The only reason we looked is because we heard the insects tone down aLOT...and my only thought was that SOMEONE had to be nearby...and sureenough...skunk!

I'll keep having it going while I do other things, and we'll see what we see.......

[maherwoman]

YAY!!! Zebras...and awildabeast!! Wahooo!! (And some toucan-lookin'bird...not sure what that was, but it was quite large!)

It's great, too, because I tuned in to the Africam, and heardimmediately what I KNEW to be zebras, and just couldn't tear away (eventhough I had to go to the bathroom SO BAD, haha!)...and sureenough!! I was right! Hey, those shows about Africapay off!

Have fun, all...I will go to bed happy I finally saw some wildlife.
