Scope and Contents
During his trip to Congo (now Democratic Republic of Congo), Elisofon visited Vitshumbi, a fishing harbour on the south shore of Lake Edward (Lake Rutanzige), which is shallow, and has an impoverished fish fauna. The Marabou stork (Leptoptilos crumeniferus) is common in all of eastern Congo, less so in the forest. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.
