Green-headed Sunbird

Green-headed Sunbird, Chimpanzee Forest Lodge, Kibale National Park, Uganda, August 2022 — What could be better than Sunbirds in late afternoon light in the flowers? This is the Green-headed Sunbird, one of many sunbird species we saw on the ground of Chimpanzee Forest Lodge near Kibale National Park in Uganda. The green coif on the male is actually the color of the cap on the female but it can look more blue as it does here in certain lights and from certain angles. It is a common bird of the higher elevations in every country in East Africa. There are separate populations in West Africa as well. Sony Rx10iv at about 580mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. ISO 200 (female) and 160 (male) @ f4 @ 1/500th.
