The Ostrich Portrait

A portrait of an Ostrich in Tsavo East

Have you ever taken the time to really look at a wild ostrich? Everyone comments on how beautiful the black and white feathers are and how they gracefully strut around the savanna. Thanks to a telephoto lens or high powered binoculars, we can really get some fine details on the facial features of the largest bird in the world. 

Its long slender neck gives this flightless bird an advantageous elevated view of the surrounding area, while its large beautiful round eyes, help it spot predators from a long distance away. Who would blame you for falling in love with the facial features of an ostrich!
