No, this wasn't taken in the back yard! :)

Just in from Kenya an hour ago. I am in a state of bewilderment still, what a trip. It exceeded my wildest expectations and I know it will take days to sort out the images. We saw it all and we can't say enough about the place...just AWESOME!

This was taken at Samburu nerar the river that runs through the area. Sorry I don't have my hands on all the info at the moment but in the next weeks I hope I will have a few good shotys to post. Thanks to all who offered suggestions and advice it all came in handy. Will talk more when I get some rest.

D100, 500mm AF-S, ISO 200, Incident meter, Beanbag on roof of vehicle.
I will be going back!!!!!

George, a great photo. I might crop in more so he's bigger in the frame.

Can't improve on this -- this is a fabulous bird and you did more than give it justice in this shot.
