Lake Chamo

Lake Chamo is one of the Ethiopian rift valley lakes and lies within one of the national parks. The 1st picture looks along a section of shoreline where the lake has encroached and killed the trees. The 2nd picture is of Turtle Island, named for its shape. The 3rd picture is another African fish eagle with a nest. The 4th and 5th pictures are Nile crocodiles. These are sunning themselves at the end of Turtle Island that I decided to call Croc Beach. There were far more Crocs there than I can show. The ones living here are said to be among the largest Nile Crocs anywhere. The 6th picture has a heron hidden to the left of center. The last picture catches a couple hippos swimming. They spend their days in the water, making this about as good a daylight picture I can hope to get.Read more
