Tanzania- Lake Manyara Day IV

Lake Manyara is an oasis of greenery in a dry, arid climate.  The lake is home to tens of thousands of birds, and believe me, I think we saw every one of them.  At times the sky was filled with white wings moving in a kind of flow that they all seemed to understand.  Thankfully our truck had a cover because the reality was the ground was spotted with droppings and feathers that at times looked like snow.  Apparently the water table is close to the surface creating this jungle affect.  Besides the birds, this is where many species of monkeys and baboons live.  (I'm tempted to make a wisecrack about traveling with a couple of baboons, but I won't.)
