Great Blue Turaco: Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — One of my goals for this trip to Uganda was to see more Turacos and see them better (by which I mean, get better photographs). Turacos are wonderful, uniquely African, birds…large, brightly colored, and (as eBird says), slightly clownish…and like nothing we have in the Americas. (Some once tried to link them to the Hoatzin of South America, but that is now disputed.) The Great Blue is the largest Turaco and perhaps the most common, with a range in both West and East Africa in the band of rainforest south of the Sahara. Certainly they have the largest range in Uganda. We saw them in Entebbe, Kibale, and Lake Mburo. This one was roosting on the grounds at Chimpanzee Forest Lodge the afternoon we birded the area.
