It is an odd year when the oak leaves turn before the maples 🙂 This is a particulary exposed oak branch, low on sapling at the edge of the Bridle Path here in Kennebunk, Maine. OM Systems OMD EM5Mkiii with 12-45mm zoom at 24mm equivalent. In-camera HDR scene mode.


Yellow-rumped Warbler: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 — The other, and more expected, warbler in the young birches on the sand plain was, of course, the Yellow-rumped Warbler. Yellow-rumps come early and stay late, and are undoubtedly the most common warbler in southern Maine. Though you might think they are looking up to spot danger…they are actually looking for insects on the underside of the birch leaves. 🙂 OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 468mm.
