| The Crested Crane is the national bird of Uganda. When our little Faye saw this picture, she said, "A Ugandan Crane!" Faye's mother is Ugandan and her father is British. |
 |
| I'm not sure what the birds are with the Crested Cranes. Some kind of water bird, obviously. Does anyone know? |
 |
| This is my favorite picture of the cranes with their lovely crests and the reflection in the water. |

| An ostrich family walking toward us on the road. Three babies and a mom and a dad. This was definitely our day for families. Later we will see a jackal family and rhino babies. |
 |
| Here's a close-up of the ostrich babies. How in the world do these tiny things grow up to be such BIG birds? |
 |
| LeRon calls this a "father and sons outing." The mother went the other way for some reason. Check out the videos below. |
 |
| I was so excited to see a secretary bird. The quills on its head look like the pens that a secretary uses. We first saw several of these birds in the Ngorongoro Crater. (I have yet to post those amazing pictures. Also a video of the secretary bird walking through the tall grass.) |

| Now a vulture party. These vultures had been feasting on a large dead animal. |
 |
| I took some video of the vultures flying away but I was too zoomed in so it was blurry. Their wing spans are LONG! And the flapping sound is interesting. Maybe I'll put a video on just so you can hear the flapping. |
