Great pose on the Downy John. I've been 'seeing' a lot of Maine recently. My wife and I are big Stephen King fans , and 99% of his books and movies are centered there as I'm sure you're well aware. Hopefully one of these days we can actually visit !

I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Great photo. I love how you were able to capture the red on his head and the detail in his tail feathers.

I so envy the clarity of your bird photos. Mine look like they were taken with a polaroid.
