Kori Bustard
This female was sitting on a nest close to the road, and we could see her big yellow eye. The nest was within a circle of rocks that was open at the back to allow the bustard to extend beyond it. I could not tell if there was any nest constructed beneath the large sprawling bird or if the bird and the rocks provided all of the needed protection for the eggs. I found a Kori Bustard feather, and it has beautiful patterning which helps to camouflage the birds. This female was near the Olduvai Gorge.
