American Crow with some white feathers. This is often a sign of leucism, a genetic condition that causes a lack of melanin (pigment) in the feathers, resulting in white patches. 19 Oct. 2025. Yarmouth ME, U.S. #Birds #OM-1MII #OM #Olympus

On my walk on this bright and windy day, a Common Loon was by the dock. It dove and came up with a crab. 01 Nov. 2025. Yarmouth ME, U.S. #Birds #OM-1MK11 #OM #Olympus #Photography

I watched this White-breasted Nuthatch go up and down a tree in the front yard. I took this picture when it tried to find some food in a crack. They are very agile and quick! 26 Oct. 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #OM #Olympus

Woodpecker day yesterday (25 Oct. 2025)! I had the largest (Pileated) and smallest (Downy) woodpeckers in the area showed up including both sexes. Yarmouth Maine. Saw Hairy Woodpecker & Red-bellied Woodpecker. If the Sapsucker and Flicker showed up, that would be all #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus

After the rain this morning, some American Wild Turkeys showed up in the yard. They checked out my split-rail fence, and I was glad it didn't fall over. It needs to be replaced! 22 Oct. 2025. Yarmouth, Maine. #Birds #Om-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

Yet another post of a female (immature) Northern Cardinal in some fall foliage. The males sometimes gets all the "glory" being all red, but I think the Female are wonderful as well. 18 Oct. 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

After a disappointing walk this morning and taking few pictures, I sat on my deck to cool down. I saw a Hermit Thrush and got pictures of it eating a worm. Sometimes I am good at finding birds but many times just lucky. 15 Oct. 2025. Yarmouth Maine. #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

Backlit photo of a female Northern Cardinal in a wild rose bush. Lots of berries which are being eaten by many species of birds and of course why we have so many wild rose bushes around! #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

Another picture of a Greater Yellowlegs close to shore. I do like the relection and the movement in the water. 30 Sep. 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #OM-1MarkII #Photography

One of my favorite small birds as it is not that common and always hard to find. The Brown Creeper and the name fits; it is brown and creeps along the trunk of a tree looking for food. I have many pictures where it is hard to find! 03 Oct. 2025. Yarmouth ME. #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Photography

An Eastern Towhee showed up in the yard today. They are here in the Spring and Fall and occasionally in the winter. 28 Sep. 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #Om-1Markii #OM #Olympus #Photography #WildlifePhotography

One of the many reasons what I don't have a perfect lawn as I don't put fertilizers and no herbicide or pesticides. In addition, I don't rake or blow the leaves away. Free bird seed from the False Dandelions that this White-throated Sparrow is enjoying! 09/27/25 Yarmouth ME #Birds #OM #Photography

Two of the birds in the yard today; Northern Parula and Cedar waxwings. The warblers like this Parula are heading south. Hopefully others will show up around here. 26 Sep 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird on feeder. Testing my new 1.4x Teleconverter with my Olympus 100-400 lens . I think I am going to like it. It is a bit soft at 400mm and of course it needs a lot of light; (1/1250 F9)! 19 Aug 2025. Yarmouth Maine. #Birds #OM_1MarkII #OM #Olympus

I was sneaking along the shorelines of the marsh trying to id some peeps when I came across this young (?) female Pileated Woodpecker on the shoreline. I was never able to id the peeps (as usual), maybe next time? 06 Aug. 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus #Photography

A male Pileated Woodpecker showed up in the yard making a lot of noise. As I was taking some pictures of it a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird showed up in a tree next to the Pileated Woodpecker. I had to include one picture of the woodpecker with its tongue out! 04 Aug. 2025 #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM

Yesterday afternoon at high tide, a lone Double-crested Cormorant was by the causeway. And of course, it was a bright and sunny day which created a nice shadow on the subject, but with tides and wildlife, you have to take what you can get! 11 July 2025. #Birds #Photography #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus

Yesterday afternoon as the tide was going out, a Great Blue Heron and Snowy Egret was looking for food in the remaining water. The Great Blue Heron took off one way and the Snow Egret the other. 10 July 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds #0M-1MarkII #OM #Olympus

A Yellow Warbler on a hot humid day (resulting in fuzzy picture?). I would like to say that I waited for the wasp (?) to get in front of the bird before I took the picture and if you believe that, contact me privately as I have a heck of a deal for you. 06 July 2025. Yarmouth Maine #Birds

A large flock of Gulls (mostly American Herring Gulls) were feeding by the causeway as the tide was coming in. It looks like some dead fish was in the water. 05 July 2025. Yarmouth Maine. #Birds #OM-1MarkII #OM #Olympus
