~ These images are the first I made after crossing the bridge into Buffalo Springs National Reserve for the first time. With fewer trees and less mountains or hills, there was a different feeling. I had no idea of what to expect. There were no other vehicles present. The wildlife activity was high, with animals going down to the remnant of the Ewaso Nyiro River for water. A pair of Oena capensis, Namaqua Dove interested me. I'd never realized that the plumage under their wings was a rich chestnut-orange hue.
