- Description of Pictures: Denise Fleming, Maria Gianferrari
Children's
Wildlife
These picture books tell stories of birds. A robin's animal friends help build her nest in this book of collages. In the other, follow a father red-tailed hawk in his hunt to feed his family in a suburban neighborhood.
Denise Fleming
Denise Fleming is the award-winning author and illustrator of many well known children’s books including “In the Tall, Tall Grass,” “Lunch,” “Barnyard Banter” and “In the Small, Small Pond,” which received a Caldecott Honor. Her most recent book is “This is the Nest that Robin Built.”
Denise’s love of language is apparent in her writing which combines rhythm, rhyme and lots of verbs. The colorful art she creates for her books involves mixing and dying cotton fiber for her unique pulp painting technique, or using various printmaking techniques combined with collage.
Maria Gianferrari
Maria Gianferrari is a self-proclaimed “bird nerd,” whose favorite pastime is searching for perching red-tailed hawks while driving down the highway. When she’s not driving, she loves watching birdcams. Her favorite feathered stars are Cornell Hawk, Big Red and her late mate, Ezra, who together raised 15 chicks since they began nesting in 2012. Maria is the author of “Hello Goodbye Dog” and “Coyote Moon,” both published by Roaring Brook Press, as well as the Penny & Jelly books and “Officer Katz & Houndini.” She lives in Leesburg, Va., with her scientist husband, artist daughter, and rescue dog, Becca.
- Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific folks (or other stuff) and I haven't labeled them, please identify them for the world. Click the little pencil icon
underneath the file name (just above the picture). Spammers need not apply.
- Copyrights: All pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bruce Guthrie (me!) who retains copyright on them. Free for non-commercial use with attribution. See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested. Descriptive text, if any, is from a mixture of sources, quite frequently from signs at the location or from official web sites; copyrights, if any, are retained by their original owners.
- Spiders: The system has identified your IP as being a spider. I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, a number of options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm excited for your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.)
I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
