The smallest family group
Single mom
A very thirsty baby
So close to water...
Chugging
Crowned lapwing again
Namaqua dove
A very red-headed finch
Final breakfast as a group, about to read our essays
Pulling up the microphone wires
Some sections are stubborn
Towing the branches back to the bushline
Elephant highway
Out by the waterhole
Now with zebras
Punctured tire, the brambles are nasty
Three mid-afternoon bulls
Rigging up the compressor
Bringing the trailer around
Branch towing scratches
Marabou stock, white-backed vulture, lappet-faced vulture, and token giraffe
Vulture variety
Sparring at the bushline
Late afternoon calm water
On alert, as always
Paula, Nadia, and other Athletes
Drinking away
Slowing a bit
Crazy drip pattern
White-backed vultures
Gentle shower
Glowing in the pre-sunset light
Sepia-toned, without processing
Mostly done drinking
Kori bustard up close
White-backed vulture taking off
Giant sweeping wing flaps
Trunks and drips in the trough
Relative calm
Walking across the pan
The youngsters follow
Staying close to mom
Trunk to mouth, a sign of respect
Scratchy comes in from the bush
Silhouetted
Avoiding us
Getting down to the water
Curled trunks
Like a fern
On the south of the pan
Staying close to the water
Deciding where to go next
Prowling
Reflected sunset
Pushed to the pan
Big bull
Down at the end of the trough
Glowing red
Ursula and Slit Ear arrive
About to get a lot more crowded
Yellow
U-curls
Slit Ear
Lined on both sides
Drink drink drink
Spreading out
Chaos as Big Momma's group shows up too
Elephants everywhere
Dust cloud
Standing around the truck
Sipping in the pan
Twilight sets in
Getting chased off
Head rest
Tower in the final sunset glow
Vivid blue water
A few stragglers
Milky Way again
Last night of total darkness
Orange glow
