Wild Maine is not only a book of outstanding images of wild mammals and birds from around the state, but it is also a collection of anecdotes and amusing stories about photographer Bill Silliker's interactions with wildlife. Includes interesting facts and observations about the behavior of the species that Silliker photographed.

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.

Bill Silliker's photographs have appeared in many books, as well as in Audubon, Backpacker, Field & Stream, National Geographic Traveler, National Wildlife, Outdoor Photographer, Outdoor Life, Sports Afield, and many other magazines. Until his untimely death in 2003, he was an instructor of wildlife and nature photography for L.L. Bean and a frequent speaker for the Fujifilm Professional Talent Team.
