... and the Antelope
Antelope

Hey - who are you looking at?!

Antelope fawn
All throughout the plains we saw antelope.  We were so excited - we started stopping and taking photos as soon as we saw them - even if they were far away or all alone.  We were afraid we wouldn't see any more.  By the end of the day, I think we had seen several hundred antelopes.  Had we known how many we would see, we wouldn't have stopped for all those early sightings!
Roam.
Antelope Antelope
This buck seems to be corralling his "herd".   There is also a young buck in the photo, so maybe he was defending his harem.

Where seldom is Herd

Antelope herd Antelope herd
We saw antelopes in all sizes of herds - ranging from lone animals to herds of several dozen.
A discouraging bird ...
