Maine! More scenic Egrets
Great and Snowy Egrets: York County, Maine, USA, August 2024 — I might as well call this “Landscape with Egrets” . I love the layers and the textures of this shot. The way the light plays across the marsh grasses, the sand and water. It just happens to have a small flock of wading birds in the foreground.

Maine! Tattered Eagle
Immature Bald Eagle: York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — This immature Bald Eagle, clearly molting into one of its intermediate plumages before the adult stage, was sitting in a tall pine on the way to the beach the other day, basking in the morning sun after at day of heavy rains. It was too far away really, and the sun behind it, but I had to try. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications.
