Maine! Great Blue light
Great Blue Heron: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — Still a few Great Blue Herons around and they are still having success with the fishing. I like the pose here…with a fresh caught morsel, and I love the light…early in the morning when the sun is still low in the November sky and the reflections from the browning marsh dominating the water. The ripples from the strike and the reflection of the heron make for a powerful composition. Or that is what I think 🙂 OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent.

Maine! Technicolor Bufflehead
Bufflehead: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — Male and female Bufflehead, in the November morning sun. The low bright light brings out the iridescent colors of the males head.

Maine! Kingfisher
Belted Kingfisher: York County, Maine, USA, November 2023 — This photo was taken from too far away and cropped to heavily to be a great photo, but I don’t see our only Kingfisher here in southern Maine as often as I would like, and they are always wary…so I take what I can get. They are around. I just don’t see them. And the kingfishers must might be my favorite birds, if I allowed myself such an indulgence. 🙂 OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent.
