Welcome back to Maine


Howdy all! Megan and I are in Maine, at her parent's house. There is a ton of snow here. It was up to my knees in places yesterday, and four inches of snow fell overnight! Yesterday was fantastic for photos. Snow everywhere, sticking to the trees, and alternating sunny and dark skies made for some powerful light. Red-breasted nuthatches are going strong here at the bird feeders. Even more tame than my last visit, what fun they are to photograph. Here is a shot from yesterday afternoon.

Maine is really beautiful place. I'm sure the snow can get old after an entire winter, but being here reminds me of what winter really looks like!

  2. Beautiful shot Tom!
    Seems I'll be getting my fair share of snow this winter. Another storm tomorrow.
    Happy New Year!

  3. Lovely photo. The bird looks like it's really warm in amongst the snow there.

    Hope you had a great Christmas, and have a Happy New Year!

  5. Very Beautiful Bird. In Maldives also we have national protected birds. We call Dhondheeni. It is all White but just like this bird.
