~ We drove for many minutes, crossing the valley from west to east. A dry riverbed was lined with trees, many of them acacias in bloom. Anthony was inclined to explore the area, which was fine with me. Shortly after we crossed the dry riverbed and began driving northward, I spotted a larger than usual bird nest high in a tree. There was no bird present. Whatever species built it must have been fairly sizable, as the individual branches weren't twigs. My purpose in photographing it was to illustrate the sizes nests may reach in Samburu.
