We’ve been cooped up taking shelter from the rain with no communications or internet for the last few days. It was quite pleasant waking up to the sound of rain pouring down and not having to be anywhere or do anything, but I was eventually itching to get out. So I eventually got to do a little photo commentary to pull us through - enjoy. After a little wet weather the bugs are starting to make their appearance along with the flying ants. I shudder at the thought of the mosquitoes coming out in full force! Animals know when the rain is coming; the hyenas prudently took shelter in the hills in expectation of the wet weather, but they still come down to the communal den during the evenings to socialize. The elephant bulls are out and about looking for the high protein browse in the south of the reserve. Just before the rains came I paid a visit to Nduna Dam and ran into a Kori Bustard walking the edge of the dam. They are huge birds and this one was not in a hurry to fly away as I was shadowing it. Another great thing about summer is the summer visitor birds taking up residence on the reserve including the woodlands kingfisher with its expressive call.

LOL. My favorite moment from August’s PBS press tour. I was busy interviewing the Sesame Street gang, so I didn’t realize what happened at the time. In Steve’s words: “At the TV Critics Press Tour in August, we interviewed Sesame Street. I was so dumbstruck by watching Maria, Grover, and Cookie Monster, that I ACTUALLY REACHED IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA to adjust audio levels on a mixing board we borrowed. To say this is an incredibly stupid thing to do is an understatement. Grover noticed.”
