These were common around Amboseli and on the southern half of the road between there and Nairobi. As we were coming back from Amboseli, I kept seeing them in trees. Finally I told Agoi that the next time we saw one, I wanted to stop for a picture. As Murphy would have it, we didn't see any more. Then at the Sweetwaters camp, I was walking to the restaurant when I saw a flock and heard their distinctive calls—Zimmerman, Turner, and Pearson's bird guide says "a single or repeated gwa (or g'way)", and Agoi said that when hunting was legal in Kenya, hunters would kill the go-away-birds first so their calls wouldn't warn the quarry.

But I didn't have my camera! I was happy that afternoon when I was walking around the camp birdwatching and I heard the calls again. The flock let me get close to the tree they were in. Unfortunately I didn't get a great picture. This one shows the bird well but has some blue twigs from shooting toward bright light.
