Hermit Thrush: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 \u2014 still finishing up photos from last month, as bad weather and hunting season are keeping me out of the woods and off the fields. \u201cBird on a stick\u201d is the, at least mildly, derogiatory term for static photos of birds on a branch\u2026the most common bird photos. As is generally the case, I can describe my photo, tongue in cheek, as just a bird on a stick photo and that is humor. If you describe my photo as bird on a stick, then I might take umbrage. But in this case, I probably would not as this is very definitely a bird on a stick. A Hermit Thrush from my encounter with several feeding in an old orchard. They bushwhacked under the trees a year or so ago to reclaim the orchard from the brush, and there are lots of these sapling stubs just a few inches tall. The thrush hopped up on one presumably to look for insects moving on the ground. Still, makes an interesting bird on a stick photo. \ud83d\ude42 OM Systems OM-1 with ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications.
