Maine! early light Eagle
Bald Eagle: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — Yesterday I was out early, dropping my wife off at church, so I swung by our local Eagle spot to see if I might find a bird. I say Eagle spot…some years a pair hangs out there all winter, and one year they even had a young bird with them…and then some years you do not see one at all. This might be a good year. This adult bird was catching the morning rays and warming up for the day high up in a big pine on their favorite perch. Not as close as I would like, but we take what we can get. OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. -1.0 EV to maintain detail on that white head. 🙂 Processed in Photomator. Cropped considerably.

Maine! Little River Marsh

Maine! Copper Oak
The oak leaves turn copper as November comes on fast. They will, mostly, stay on the trees here in southern Maine, and get a little browner before spring when they fall as the new buds come out.

Maine! Bittersweet
Almost everything about bittersweet is bittersweet. There are two bittersweets…American and Oriental. Most of what we have in Maine is Oriental Bittersweet, a clinging, climbing, invasive plant that smothers its hosts and can even bring down full grown trees. We have a vine in our yard that reaches the very top of a tall pine, and is 8 inches in diameter at eye level. Still the berries are pretty, and are eaten by at least a few birds.
