36 degrees. Stinking hot.
We are seeing many many colorful and colorfully named birds - first a Harrier Hawk is teaching its youngster to be independent, then lilac breasted rollers, red backed shrike, fluorescent European rollers, Wahlberg eagle, fish eagle, numerous bee eaters, starlings, egrets, blue herons abound.
It is baby time in the bush with cute baby warthogs, giraffes, blue wildebeest, zebras (with their long see-through manes and eyelashes), guineafowl. Finally we find a crush of white rhinos, a herd of 60+ antelope, then finally on the border of Botswana, 2 of the park’s 4 cheetahs, lying panting in the sun stomachs heaving, too full to bother with us only about 20 feet away.
