Black-crowned Tchagra: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Tchagras are bushshrikes that spend a lot of time foraging low to or on the ground. We found this one on the grassy lawn at Chimpanzee Forest Lodge. It emerged from the brush at one edge and litterally ran across a few yards to the brush on the other side, so, while not perfect, I am happy with this shot. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 595mm equivalent.

Copper Sunbird: Chimpanzee Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — This is the last of the sunbird species we saw at Chimpanzee Lodge on our afternoon walk around the grounds. One shot in the sun and two in the shade show off the full range of subtle rich colors on the bird. In coloration it is similar, of course, the the Bronzy Sunbird, but the extra long tail on the Bronzy is unmistakable. Sony Rx10iv at 600 and 540mm equivalents.
