African Wattled Lapwing: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — Another pre-dawn shot from our early morning walking safari at Lake Mburo. This Lapwing was apparently standing sentry or trying to get a look at the horizon in hopes of seeing the sunrise. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 640 @ f4 @ 1/500th.

Quetzal in the sun!

Resplendent Quetzal: San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 — In at least 8 trips to San Geraldo de Dota in search of Quetzals, I have only see one in the sun twice…and neither time was an ideal shot. The first time the bird was partially obscured by foliage, and this time he simply would not look down at me. So it goes. It just gives me a reason to return. 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 561mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixomator Pro and Apple Photos. ISO 160 @ f4 @ 1/500th.
