​“Love that’s worth fighting for, that’s what this is.”
After 8-9 years of hunting eagles on the Presumpscot and Androscoggin Rivers, I am now exploring the Kennebec River. I absolutely love mating season, probably more than in March/April when eaglets hatch. Bald eagle pairs mate for life and in the fall they begin their yearly courtship. They are fascinating to watch! They soar in the sky in dancing rituals, they sit together for long lengths of time, they reclaim their nest and territory, and they continue to keep a watchful eye on their prior fledglings. I have seen them wrap their wings around one another and even kiss, beak to beak. (And of course other unmentionable activities) They are fiercely protective of everything that they claim as “their own.”

Sandhill Cranes
Sandhill cranes have been nesting in my home state of Maine since 2000. Small breeding pairs migrate here in the early spring and then gather in the fall to migrate south.

As a #wildlifephotographer I love to capture #urban #wildlife as well. All around us are common critters that scurry past us as we take a walk or tidy our yards up.
My primary objective in photographing wildlife is to witness babies...kits, cubs, ducklings, goslings, fawns, and the likes. This goal always requires me to spend much of my time quietly "observing" in order to discover dens, nests, and spring hiding places. Here is a female woodchuck gathering nesting material to take to her den.
​Young woodchucks are usually born at the end of March or the beginning of April. They are born helpless. They will begin to poke their heads out of their mothers ground hole somewhere between 4-6 weeks of age.

#Goslings are my most favorite subject to photograph.

SNOWY OWL
These pictures of a #snowyowl were done ethically and without chasing this rapture. I arrived (at 6:30am and in my winter camouflage) to a location where I suspected the snowy owls might be. There were two of them but I only spent time with one as I saw the other fly off far away. One stayed within my sight for 5 hours and I saw it hunt and catch voles, mostly sat and rested, which is what they need to do to preserve their energy. I positioned myself three different times in the five hours that I spent in the wind and in the freezing cold. Each time my photographing distance was greater than a football field length. At around 4:30 hours of watching and waiting this snowy owl flew to me and rested about 35feet away. After a few quick shots I quietly walked away.
Putting in my time, it's the only way to do it right...

Snow Day
​ I don't really do much with black and white photography but I do like it. I generally will go almost black and white, adjusting a color I want to pop slightly. These domestic geese in snow were already there, black/white naturally.
