Hermit Thrush Visitor

I’ve been loving watching and learning more about the Hermit Thrush this winter. I know they are a migrating bird & we are close to the line migration so not sure if this one will leave us soon or go deep into the woods for spring.

Spent quite a bit of time shooting this one as I try to learn the intricacies of my new camera. The OM-1 Mark II. So far loving it! For my type of photography it is game changing as it was designed for birding and other wildlife. Just a lot of new settings to learn.

Eastern Meadowlarks

Eastern Meadowlark - I have only photographed one of these before. I was super lucky, on our roadtrip to the Northern Neck to come across a field with about small flock of them flying back and forth. They were very skittish and flew anytime the saw a movement, including cars so I was able to only grab a few shots and then they were at the other end of the field completely out of my reach.
