The kori bustard is seen in the dry northern grasslands. It's numbers are declining due in part to the bird trade, hunting and declining habitat. The upper four photos (Olasiti, 6-06) are of an adult and 2 immatures, crossing dry grassland, then eating from the surface of small acacia trees: the adult appears to scrape something from the bark as the immature watches and then the immature moves to a different tree and follows the adult example. The flight photo is courtesy of Karoline Hornik (Serengeti, 10-10). All of the other photos were taken in Ngorongoro Crater. Click the photo above to see 20 enlargements.
