That time of year again, and one of my favorite views. One of the Back Creek ponds along Rt. 9 near our home. I was on my eTrike, pulled over on the shoulder with cars wizzing by my elbow. iPhone SE with Sirui 18mm lens. Auto HDR.

African-blue Flycatcher

African-blue Flycatcher: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Another common bird through most of Uganda. We got our best views on the grounds of Chimpanzee Forest Lodge near Kibale National Park…but we had to work for it. Two birds worked through the interior of large bush, barely showing through the foliage…very difficult to get binoculars or a camera on. At one point I circled around the bush to the far side of our group, and was rewarded when both birds worked their way to a small opening, still well inside the bush, but where I had a clear line of sight. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.

Black-and-white-casqued Hornbill

Black-and-white-casqued Hornbill: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — We got to our lodge near Kibale National Park early enough to spend a few hours birding on the beautifully landscaped hill-top grounds. There were a lot of birds! We had seen Black-and-white-casqued Hornbills in the Botanical Gardens in Entebbe, but this was a much better view. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
