Yellowstone! Bison
American Bison: Slough Creek, Yellowstone National Park, September 2024 — We stopped at Slough Creek to see if we could see the wolves…but it was too late in the day. We did, however find this bull Bison standing guard on a ridge as the herd fed in the valley below him. As they say, a nice specimen. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm and 75mm equivalent…both ends of the zoom. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
Maine! Old Faithful
Red-tailed Hawk: York County, Maine, October 2024 — Only with less of the old and less of the faithful! Still this hawk has haunted the edges of the marsh along one of my favorite trails for more than a year now, and has given me many photo-ops. I had not been out to the marsh since getting back from Yellowstone (due to heart issues), but I went yesterday for a short walk, and there she was, right where I thought she might be. Not great light…but still. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications and +1.7 EV exposure compensation.
