for the birds

    I was at the lake today, and this bird just kept flying around me.  So I decided I might as well take a shot of it.  I believe that it is just an ordinary egret.  

Vultures!

I decided I haven't put up one of my old Masai Mara animal shots for a while, so here is a picture of some vultures I took a while ago.

Kenyan runner

Everybodyknows that Kenyans are the fastest runners, I decide to try and take a picture of Kenyans running, and on my third attempt I actually succeeded to get a photo of a runner... kind of.  

With this picture, I am finally caught up for all of the days I missed with the internet down.  I apologize again for not getting up the daily photo, but now have finally caught up.  

Just a news report, the bird died.  He died a few days ago, it was sad, but expected, the life-expentancy of the bird wasn't all that high to begin with.

A little bird

Well, this is a small bird.  Actually it is bigger than your average robin.  It is a baby bird that I found at the School that my Parents run.    I have a tendency to find and care for injured and homeless animals.   recently I had taken the care of a tortoise which was lost and wandering.  It was a pet though, and we got him back to his owner in the end.  I also have a dog, "maggie" that was lost and injured as a puppy several years back.  She is now a healthy, happy dog, with only a few scars and a missing toe as a reminder of harder days.  

So now I have a little bird I am taking care of. The vet seems to think that it will get better, he thinks it will fly just fine someday.
