Description
We met this bold red-winged starling (Onychognathus morio) above Hout Bay along the Cape Peninsula near Cape Town, South Africa.
Doug and Marcy Wielfaert are a husband and wife team located in Tennessee near the Great Smoky Mountains. Our home range certainly colors our portfolio, but we love traveling across the country and around the globe to capture scenes like this one. We would be honored if you would “like”, “favorite” or comment on this image, doing so helps increase our search engine rankings.
