<i>Nature and Wildlife Photographer D.W. Maiden specializes in photographing wildlife in and around Virginia, Maryland and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. His emphasis is on catching the unique qualities of wildlife that often pass too quickly for the human eye to process and comprehend. </i> I have completed my second photo book called <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/219010">"Backyard Birds of the Piedmont"</a>. It is a beginners guide to common backyard birds found in the Virginia Piedmont. It has over 70 pictures and some interesting facts about each bird. To see a preview or to order follow this <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/219010">link.</a> Preview or order my first book, <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/127279">"Coffee Table Birdbook"</a> (shown left), a collection of bird photos.<br><br>In my Birds Gallery you will find what amounts to my bird "life list" in pictures. I am always adding to my life list in pictures and posting them into the birds galleries. All photographs are shot in the wild unless otherwise noted. <br><br><center><font size=+3><a href="http://www.virginiabird.com/gallery/7115673_DsbTC">My 2009 Show and Festival schedule</a></center></font> http://dwmaiden.smugmug.com/photos/236894859_9WEEE-Ti.jpg http://dwmaiden.smugmug.com/Snakes and Frogs/ 2009-11-26T07:48:26Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
