Maine! First of fall
There is an Oak sapling along at the edge of the marsh along the Kennebunk Bridle Path that is always one of the first of the trees to turn. It must be because it has its feet in the water. I am really enjoying the macro abilities of the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC zoom. This is at 75mm equivalent with the Sony a6700 and my macro modifications to Program mode, program shifted to f18 at 1/8 second for maximum depth of field…and hand held. Processed in Photomator.
Maine! Hermit Thrush again
Hermit Thrush: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — There were so many Hermit Thrushes in the old orchard that I did not know where to look. I can’t ever remember seeing such a group…too few to be a flock…but still a lot of Hermit Thrushes in one spot. I cannot find anything on the internet to suggest they migrate in groups, but this was most probably such a group headed south and stopping to fuel up in orchard.

Maine! Hermit Thrush in the orchard
Hermit Thrush: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — Out and about the other day, my first surprise (of many that day) was a small flock (maybe just a pair and their off-spring of this year) of Hermit Thrushes feeding along the path and in an old overgrown orchard. I think of Hermit Thrushes, true to their name, as being shy and keeping to themselves…not so this group, who were happily feeding among the fallen apples right out in plain sight only yards from the moderately busy path.
