Costa Rica! Shiny!

Shinning Honeycreeper: Mirador El Pizote, Boca Tapada, Costa Rica, December 2024 — Mirador El Pizote has a wonderful set of feeders, ideal for photography of the tanagers and honeycreepers and euphonias who frequent the lowlands of Costa Rica…including the Shinning Honeycreeper, which can be one of the more difficult honeycreepers to see. They have hummingbird feeders too, and large fruit feeders for the toucans, aracaris, and oropedolas. This Shinning Honeycreeper could not struck a better pose. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 Di iii @ 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.

Maine! Eagle in the snow

Bald Eagle, Kennebunk, Maine, USA, January 2025 — The Eagles that frequent river by Roger’s Pond here in Kennebunk are generally across the river and too far away for great photos…not this this is a great photo…but at least the eagle was on my side of the river for a change. Snowing of course and dull light, but still. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 Di iii @ 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.

Maine! Stoic

Eastern Bluebird: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, January 2025 — Into every bluebird’s life (well at least Maine bluebirds) some snow must fall, and when it does the bluebird meets it with typical bluebird stoicism. This is a first year bird so it is only his second snow, but he is wise to the ways of snow already. It comes. It goes. Just as long as the mealworm feeder is full. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 Di iii @ 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications. Taken through a double glazed deck door. Processed in Photomator.
