Thanks for your comments, Mark, Bob & Jack.
Ostriches are fairly scarce in Kruger. In fact, these are the first ones
we've seen close to home. In the breeding season, the males sit on the eggs
at night & the females in the day. The females have brown plumage. The
Lowveld is suffering a drought at present. I have have measured only 77mm,
the normal to date being 280mm. There is virtually no new grass. Most
species of Lowveld trees have deep tap roots & are able to access the
subterranean water.

NIce layering in the photo - the sandy foreground, grassy middle and
tress int he back, with the birds in the middle of course. I am
continuously amazed at the wildlife you get to see - I'm happy to see a
whitetailed deer or a coyote!

The all male subjects of this shot were about 100m distant so this is a
heavy crop at the limit of the FA 100-300. Lead singer on the left. The
ladies were probably sitting! Unfortunately a little soft - I really need
that DA 55-300.
