Maine! Apple eater

Eastern Chipmunk, Laudholm Farms, Wells, Maine, USA — There are lots of fallen apples in the old orchards at Laudholm Farms right now, and the Chipmunks are having a feast. They are so busy eating that they play little attention to passing humans, even those with cameras who very likely stop for a few photos. Or more.

Maine! Racing the tide

Sanderlings: York County, Maine, USA, September 2023 — The Sanderlings would go out over the wet sand to feed and then race back as the next wave came in. It was fun to watch, but I had to watch my feet as well so as not to be caught by the wave myself. 🙂 OM Systems OM1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent.
