India! Indian Nightjar

Indian Nightjar?: Rathambore Tiger Reserve, Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, India, March 2023 — I think this is an Indian Nightjar…though we had a discussion as to whether it might be Jungle. The short wings and tail I think make it Indian??? Anyone who knows better, please advise 🙂 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.

Maine! Hunting Least Tern

On July 3, 2023 by lightshedder With 0 Comments - action, birds, flight, Kennebunk, Maine, nature, OM-1 & 100-400mm

Least Tern: York County, Maine, USA, June 2023 — There were at least a half-dozen Least Terns hunting over the mouth of our local river. This is, as I have mentioned, a new colony this year I think…as the Least Terns reclaim more of their territory, moving up the coast from the main colony at the river mouth south of us. Terns are graceful hunters, and the Least Tern is among the most graceful. OM Systems OM-1 with 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my evolving birds-in-flight modifications.
