Description

Many times depending on the time of the season I become isolated in certain areas of Northern Maine just so I can capture the beauty of the ducks which live in this area. The abundance of wildlife is plentiful for 3 months of the year because of our winters are so long and cold. This particular morning the sunrise was gorgeous and breathtaking. Sitting patiently while waiting for the sun to illuminate this particular duck was worth the time as the colors were so rich and warm from the glow the sunrise produced.

I am fascinated capturing wildlife in the early morning hours or late in the evening as the colors are always so rich if you are able to obtain the right position to capture your subject. The loons in this area are also magnificent especially late at night right before the sun sets. I have made several recordings of the songs from the loons which are so relaxing and warming to the soul. Photography by Gary Smith
