Nubian Giraffes: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — I mentioned the abundance of names for a group of Giraffes a few days ago…journey, kaleidoscope, tower, herd, troop, etc. — this is maybe half of the tower we encountered on our walking safari at Lake Mburo on our last morning in Africa, as they moved slowly away from us.

Flame-colored Tanager: Miriam’s Quetzals, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 — After a few hours on the Paramo, we headed back for lunch at Miriam’s. There was birding time between ordering and eating, and of course we spent it on her back deck. These female and male Flame-colored Tanagers posed nicely in the mid-day light.
