This was taken at about 500 mm. That’s why you can see the tiny duck weed leaves. This baby was still chirping. The size was around 7 inches (2 1/2 cm).

I did not see Mom around, but she was there. They always are.
I heard this hawk long before I spotted him. Red Shouldered Hawks call out more than any other hawk I know of.
It never occurred to me the bird would be sitting on the very top of this pine. But the constant calling finally made me look over.
I forget what distracted me while shooting these, but I never did get the image of him dropping out of the tree.
A small series of a Great Egret fishing in the shallows. The bird waited for a fish to come by, we did too. Everyone was a winner…except the fish of course.

This is the second set taken early evening in Milo, Maine. We had just enough light left for these photographs.
This is part of the Sebec river as it runs through Milo. Three rivers meet here a little further on. The area is known as Three Rivers.
Two photographs in the early evening. There was nothing planned about this, we were passing through and jumped out of the car.
We were coming from a wedding and had all of our gear in the back. All we did was grab ‘some stuff’ and run around by the river while we had a bit of light.
When we crossed the tracks here we found abandon gas stations. Not unheard of.
It was interesting that the empty gas stations were directly across the street from each other.
At some point there must have been enough traffic to support them. Now, both are empty, as well as the street.
