Emerald Toucanet: Miriam’s Quetzals, San Geraldo de Dota, Costa Rica, December 2022 — We all jumped up from our delicious lunches at Miriams when this Emerald Toucanet visited the feeders out back. The feeder pole is about 12 feet from the deck rail, so this was a real treat. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.

Immature Bateleur: Lake Mburo National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — I mentioned when I last posted an immature Bateleur, that though we saw NO adults, we saw a lot of immatures. We kept looking, but they were all immatures in 2022. This one sat long enough for us to circle around the tree for a better shot…though still not good light. Sony Rx10iv at 591mm equivalent.
