Parson’s Beach and the Mousam River, Kennebunk, Maine, USA. August 2024 — The rains had passed and we were treated to some late afternoon sun, so of course I rode my trike down to the beach to see what I could find. This is looking back up the Mousam from the point of Parson’s Beach. Notice the Common Terns wheeling and diving over the water. Sony a5100 with the 16-50 kit lens at 24mm equivalent.

Common Tern and Monarch Butterfly: York County, Maine, USA, August 2024 — Imagine my surprise when processing my photos from the actively feeding Common Terns at the mouth of the river to find this interloper in the frame. I certainly did not see the Monarch while panning to follow the tern…though the Monarchs must be passing through down the coast as I saw several yesterday, and those are the first of the season.
