Wild Maine

Blessed with varied topography and a mix of climate zones, Maine is home to a rich variety of wildlife. In Wild Maine, renowned wildlife photographer Bill Silliker, Jr. (he died in 2003, just before this book was published in HC) introduces us to the "grand mosaic" of natural Maine through his photographs and personal stories of his unusual encounters with wild creatures.
