I've been following a story on one of the Ellie Sanctuary's most beloved residents. I am a regular recipient of the "Trunklines" and the "Ele-buzz" newsletters, so I've known about this for some time. I think it's worth reading.
On the blogsite, go to "US web Cams". Click on "Tenn Elephants" Once you get to the website, look for the navigation bar at the top of the page -- put the cursor on "Our Elephants". On the drop-down menu, go to "Asian Ele-Diaries". Once you're on that page, scroll down to the first entry, dated March 9. It's about Delhi. I've attached the picture that accompanies the article. There are other earlier entries in the Diary concerning her, and they're worth reading. All these entries just reinforce my feelings about these very extraordinary animals, and how incredibly sensitive and compassionate they are, and their amazing interaction is really something to behold.
I think you"ll understand what I'm saying after you read a few of these entries.

HAPPY VIEWING !!
Good Morning!
This drive has to be the one of the best yet - the Mapogo males are magnificent, to say the least! And this is the only way to see them - in their own back yard, as it were! Looks like they were going for # 4 in the group when the batteries went dead. What a pity! Here is my small contribution to what I can imagine is a growing number of great shots coming in from everyone. I'm sure repetitions are unavoidable, as everyone was going for THE shot! I ended up with 94 captures! The thing is, none were throw-aways!
Enjoy! ~ DaveKay

If I didn't know better, I'd say Spring arrived today! Sunny and 70 degrees! Tomorrow we return to reality - rain and the low 50's... Oh well, it can't be that far away! (written 3/4) Didn't get much from the A.M. drive, just a good study of the Wahlberg's eagle. Here's my contribution, with captions:
Pieter, by dawn's early light.
THIS dawn's early light!
Wahlberg's eagle, from a hazy distance.
A better shot.
An even better shot !
Business ends of Mr. Wahlberg.
A stare-down!
The WH at Djuma, not seen much lately.
The Ellie Plains WH.
Imagine walking out onto the back deck of your cabin, and having either one of these gorgeous views!
So long from a dreamer! ~ DaveKay
Well I'd bet a few of us has the same dream DaveKay, so your in very good company LOL.
HAPPY VIEWING !!
Good Morning!
Just got off the 3/2 A.M. drive -- no shots on this one, but I have some pics from yesterday's drive, plus some stuff from other sites. I took the liberty of using captions again! ~ DaveKay

Cause I could get they movin' like ...
this.
See I told you that would get them movin'
Now for a nap
Should I lay this way ...
or this way?
What do you think?
WELL ...
I'm still waiting
So glad that was finally decided.
Is that those Impala coming back?
I'll keep an eye out this direction
Man, it's hot today.
What was that ?
Did you see what that was?
OK so I was wrong, geesh
Another sunset, another day done.
Wow, Lioness in the morning and Leopard (Beacon male) in the evening. I certainly hope the 2 don't meet up. It would be a shame if anything happened to either one.
HAPPY VEWING !!
Wow! Pieter is really coming through with a lot of goodies on each of his drives - I'm grabbin' shots like crazy, knowing full well I'll regret it when I go back to clean them up to send to you! It's all well worth it, though. And it's great to have Pieter back! These are shots of the lioness that he was so excited about on this drive. She is one gorgeous cat!
Enjoy! ~ DaveKay
