Who's Afraid of Lions?

Who's Afraid of Lions?
I am. I am definitely afraid of the lions and a lot of other things. When Bruce was in Africa he was in trouble with the guides for taking sunset bird walks. Guides risk disapproval from their employers when any of their charges are taken down by lions. So of course Bruce at the Dead Sea was looking for ways to find the birds of the Dead Sea even if it meant approaching the Palestinian Territory border. I wanted to stay as far away as possible from any borders. Luckily, we found a public beach to get next to the Dead Sea. No birds. Too salty I think. Regarding birding, Bruce has spotted 54 birds so far, including Tristram's Grackle pictured right.
