Migration! (it happens)

Yellow-rumped Warbler, Day Brook Pond, Kennebunk Plains Wildlife Management Area, ME

I am soooo happy to have a superzoom camera back in my hands. I decided to buy a Nikon P610 as a back-up superzoom, and to tide me over while my P900 is in repair. Never again to I want to be in the position of canceling a major photo trip because my cameras are in the shop! And I certainly do not want to be anywhere photogenic and have my only camera break. Things happen.

Migration is happening right now in Maine. It seems late, but warblers, Blue Jays, and Cedar Waxwings are passing through in great numbers this week…along with assorted others. This specimen was along the shores of Day Brook Pond on the Kennebunk Wildlife Management Area…one of a small flock of warblers foraging in this pine.

Nikon P610 at 1440mm equivalent field of view. 1/400th @ ISO 100 @ f6.5. Processed and cropped slightly for scale in Lightroom.
