Feb. 12: Tanzania: Ndutu and Serengeti!

Collared Pratincole.  So cute and pudgy.

He thinks his jokes are funny.  But his brother...
not so much.

Oxpeckers enjoying their favorite pastime.

An interesting size comparison.

African Wildcat - a direct ancesstor of the
domestic cat.

African Hoopoe

Secretary Bird on a tree top nest.

Black-shouldered Kite

Montagu's Harrier

... sort of creepy, don't you think?

Fischer's Lovebirds

Village Weaver begins his nest, hoping to attract
a female.  He'll keep building until he finds a mate.

A finished nest.

Young Bat-eared Foxes

Male Grant's Gazelle

A Secretary Bird comes in for the usual running landing.

White (European) Storks with larger, darker
Maribou Storks

Mom Lion contemplates moving her three
cubs to better shelter.  But a sticky, muddy
creek is too dangerous for cubs to navigate
on their own.

Moving cub No. 1.

One of the remaining cubs squeaks for Mom...

and she quickly returns.

Moving cub No. 2.

The lone cub squeaks in protest.

The final cub is moved.

All safe on the other side of the creek.

This seems an appropriate photo for
"the end" of this day's blog!
