There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky
And I wonder if she looks down, as she goes on by
Well, she's flying so freely in the sky
Lord, look at me...
I'm rooted like a tree...
~ Richie Havens, singer-songwriter, 19412013

One of the first people I met when I took the helm of Living Bird magazine in 1990 was Marie Read, an avid bird photographer who lived nearby. She came to my office one day to show me a portfolio of her work, and I was stunned. Even thennearly three decades agoshe had already amassed an amazing collection of bird images. And they were more than just excellent wildlife shots: Each image seemed to capture the very essence of the individual bird.
Before she left that day, Id already chosen one of her picturesa Black-capped Chickadee hovering under a dripping icicle to get a drinkfor the back cover of the first issue of Living Bird, which I had edited. It would not be the last image of Maries I would publish. Over the years, her pictures were often featured on the front and back coverssometimes of the same issueas well as in articles, portfolios, and spreads inside the magazine.
Looking through Mastering Bird Photography, youll quickly see what attracted me to Maries work. The breadth and variety of her imagesthe species, the habitats, the behaviors depictedis remarkable. And each picture shows the mark of an artist in the composition, lighting, color, and attention to detail. Its not surprising. Marie has been at this for a very long timemore than thirty yearsphotographing in exotic locales such as Africa, Australia, Iceland, the Pribilof Islands, as well as in her own backyard, where many of my favorite photos of hers were taken.
Marie Read is a great teacher. Based on her long years in the field, her book is a virtual master class in bird photography, written in a friendly, engaging tone., The book covers a wide range of topicsequipment, lighting, composition, color, camouflage, flight photography, how to capture behavior, and moreand she provides sage advice on how the reader can achieve his or her own artistic vision. Im sure wildlife photographers of all levels will find this book interesting and usefuland, above all, inspirational.

Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, Living Bird
Birds! The freest of Natures free spirits! Colorful, musical, and full of life, they have captivated and inspired us since the dawn of human history. Their fascinating lives unfold in just about every habitat on Earth: In frigid polar regions, sweltering rainforests, stark deserts, and, increasingly, in our cities and gardens. Some live life high in the sky, others dive deep underwater. Most share the human love of daylight but a few emerge only under cover of darkness. But the true embodiment of birds spirit is that most enviable of powers: flight.
Bird photography has become immensely popular, in no small part because it offers us humansever yearning for freedoma way to capture some of that boundless avian spirit. Its as if we subconsciously hope that the essence of bird-ness holds the secret to lifting our spirits and liberating us, too.
Bird photography follows closely behind bird watching as one of North Americas most popular pastimes. Im delighted that youre joining the ranks!
I originally came to bird photography from a background in biology, with a deep interest in animal behavior. My work has reflected those roots: I enjoy showing people glimpses of birds going about their lives while interacting with each other and their habitatsbrief moments in time that people ordinarily miss on casual observation. But I also love to portray these marvelous creatures in purely artistic ways.
