I have no clue as to what these are, does someone recognize them?

This is a East African Crowned Crane, also known as a Grey Crowned Crane. Not sure why they call it grey when the plume is beige looking.

The photos are beautiful. Once again, I would like to see them a little bit sharper. I am beginning to sound like a broken record, I fear.

This too is quite beautiful. I would like this a bit sharper and PERHAPS cropped to focus more on the bird than the greenery and perhaps a bit of vignetting.
just a thought...
