Almost two weeks ago I visited Criscenti’s Bog in New London, NH with a group of photographers. Not expecting to see many birds, I did not carry a very long lens but instead worked on close-ups of plants with shallow depth-of field. I saw several white-throated sparrows and photographed one with a caterpillar in its mouth. Then I heard, saw, and photographed a northern waterthrush. I had never seen one there before, but the area is quite wet, after all it is a bog. The photo I got was less than satisfying.
This morning I again found myself in New London. So I went into the bog to see if I could relocate the waterthrush. It didn’t disappoint me; it was still there. And I briefly spotted two. Here are a few photos from this morning before the mosquitoes chased me away.
