Artist Statement<\/h3>\n

In the late summer of 2020, I had a relapse of a severe disk herniation that effectively rendered me immobile. In the first month of recovery, I would spend mornings in my bed watching out the window as nuthatches cached food in our trees and chickadees squabbled over sunflower seeds. When I was able to walk in small bursts, photographing our backyard\u2019s over-wintering flocks helped me strengthen my spine while I appreciated the nuances of bird behavior. By December 2020, I could walk regularly up and down the bike trail near my home, sleuthing for and photographing birds as they flitted about their territories. Immersing myself in Maine\u2019s natural wildlife was healing physically and emotionally; I am forever tethered to the sometimes ferocious, often goofy birds I photographed on my walks. This collection of photos includes a sampling of native Maine birds I was lucky to spend time with as I recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n
