Uganda Edition: Topi

Topi: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — The only two parks in Uganda where you are likely to see Topi are the Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo. This one was beside the road as we drove through the park to get to our bout tour on the lake. Though it is a fairly large antelope, the Topi is often sighted as the fasted African antelope, at least over short distances. Sony Rx10iv at 238mm equivalent.

Scaly-breasted Hummingbird: Los Cosingos Scanturay, Costa Rica, December 2022 — Not a very exciting hummingbird, as the colorful hummingbirds go, and according to some authorities, common in its largely Central American range, but not easy to see. This one was tucked back deep in the foliage at the Alexander Skutch homestead, near the main house. No flashy gorget…and, in fact, not much of a Scaly-breast either. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 200 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
