Phil, you have a wonderfull variety of wildlife pics from your area. Thanks for sharing.

Phil from Maine

Thanks for the reply.. I am lucky here to have quite a few lakes and wetlands to help. Also the pipeline and powerline helps draw a lot of wildlife out in the spring of the year. That will soon be ending as the summer moves on. So I will be trying to get a few Bald Eagle and Osprey pics once the heat starts getting here..

Great pictures Phil..you've seen more deer this year than I saw all of last year..

Phil from Maine

Thanks Chuck, but, keep in mind deer up here yard up during our winter months. Then when they first come out of thier yards they hit whatever green stuff they can find. As the grass and saplings start growing the green stuff again they break up and go thier own way. As they move back into the woods again you will hardly see them. That pipeline/powerline runs for around 83 miles so the chances of seeing game in the spring is pretty good right now. They are currently studying on making this a major highway for trucks to pass threw from Canada. If they do that will distroy this area from seeing any game again. The moose and deer here will end up being road kill for the most part.

Good stuff! Crank up your ISO setting on your camera and you'll avoid the motion blur.
