Maine! Jump for joy
Ruby-throated Hummingbird: York County, Maine, USA, July 2024 — I sat in the open deck door and waited on Hummingbirds yesterday afternoon…with some success. This one is a keeper. 🙂 Lots of exuberance. He likes the hummingbird juice. Sony A6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my evolving bird modifications.

Maine! Streeetch!
Piping Plover: York County, Maine, USA, July 2024 — More pairs of Plovers on the north end of our beach these days. They maybe just moved up from down the beach, or maybe relocated after a first nest further south. They are very active, ranging from potential nest sites in the protected area all the way down to the surf line. This one just needed to stretch.

Maine! Tern stone
Least Tern (on a stone): York County, Maine, USA, July 2024 — For some reason the Least Terns were perching on some exposed stones just above the surf line…several, on several different stones. ??

Maine! great white wings
Great Egret: York County, Maine, USA, July 2024 — I was photographing Least Terns and Plovers when this Great Egret flew toward me and then over and out toward the mouth of the river. Close over. I had just increased my minimum shutter speed to 1/4000th of a second to see if would work better for the terns in flight so this is pretty sharp 🙂 OM System OM-1Mkii with M.Zuiko ED 100-400IS zoom at 800mm equivalent.

Maine! Wings up
Least Tern: York County, Maine, USA, June 2024 — Lots of mating ritual display going on on our beach when I visited. The Terns were making short flights along the surf line, offering Rock Gunnel to each other, and generally just putting on a good show.
