After another morning birding around the lodge at Speke's Bay, we headed into Serengeti National Park, where we drove the "western corridor" to a lodge deep inside the park. We saw lots of great mammals and birds along the way, barely making it to the lodge by the deadling of 6:00 pm. (We were actually a few minutes late, but we weren't the last group to arrive.)
A large group wearing "Texas Exes" name badges were there. None of them sported binoculars or big cameras.
Here are a small sampling of the photos:

This Three-banded Courser is a specialty of the lodge at Speke's Bay. We missed it the first day, but one of the waiters in the dining room knew where to look and took us there.
This White-bellied Bustard was a lifer. This is a male, told from the female by the nice blue color on the neck. The male strutted out from the shade of a tree where we first saw him. The female stayed in the shade. Not sure what the message is there.
A Black-backed Jackal, one of a pair that seemed curious about us. This canid has several names. We have seen the species before on earlier trips to Africa, but still think they are stylish.
