Pied Kingfishers: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — To say that we saw a lot of Pied Kingfishers from the Lake Mburo tour boat would be somewhat of an understatement. They were everywhere…so much so that I only took photos of major concentrations! Bush and branchfuls. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 320 and 100 @ f4 @ 1/500th.

Large-footed Finch: Miriam’s Quetzels Restaurant, San Gerardo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 — Not the most exciting bird in the world, but another mountain speciality…hugging the area from cloud forest up to tree-line. It’s behavior is very like our North American Robin…scratching for invertebrates in the grass and leaf litter. And, yes, it does have large feet! Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 4000 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
