From my session with the mushrooms of the woods along the Bridle Path…you have to wonder if these slugs are tripping on what looks like Fly Agaric to me. They certainly seem to be enjoying it. Yes I know, yuk. Still I find it to be an interesting photo. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 75mm equivalent. Program mode with my macro modifications.

Grey Catbird: York County, Maine, USA, August 2024 — We had Catbirds in our yard all spring and into summer, likely through the nesting season…and then they disappeared…out into the wider world to make a living. They are back. Eyeing the suet in the cage above. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. ISO 8000 @ f5.3 @ 1/500th. Animal/bird detection auto focus. Processed in Photomator.
