storks of the Middle Atlas

This area is quite a cool hangout spot for storks. I think they stop here going between Europe and farther south in Africa (and some spend the winter).

Storks seem to particularly like building nests at the top of a mosque's minaret. Their nests are pretty huge and look really neat. At least they live above the loudspeakers that send out the call to prayer five times a day. Photo from the roof of my house



This group was hanging out on a hill by the landfill. Photography while riding on a bus whipping around curves is tricky.....
