About Phillip's Fetching Birds

This calendar grew out of my holiday gift to family and friends. Over the years enough folks have enjoyed it and asked to buy some to give away for their own gifts that I’ve made them available online to other birdlovers. The 2012 edition is my 8th calendar of bird photographs, though I've been publishing calendars of one sort or another since 1981.

12 photos span the seasons with a variety of birds including familiar backyard ones as well as more rarely seen species. Most all of the photographs were fetched in New England and the Canadian Maritimes, though the center of my birding world is a 2 acre spit of land sticking out into the Atlantic called Seapoint, just a mile walk from my home in Kittery Point, Maine.

For info and images of what I'm currently fetching, some of which may make it into next year's calendar, visit my daily blog called Bird of the Day, which can also be seen on my Facebook page called birdaday.
