Welcome
This is Douglas Goodell's photo
site featuring birds and related scenes. It is a celebration of birds and
the wonders of nature. The images
are presented in galleries, arranged mostly by species type.
What's New highlights new works as they are
added to the site and galleries; a few favorites
are shown separately. Note that space is limited, so not all images are shown here. If you are looking for something in particular
that is not in the galleries, or have comments, please contact me.
Many of the images presented here
are available for purchase as limited edition fine-art prints, and several size options are possible. Boxed note cards are
also available based on a few of the images. These are outlined in
the prints section.
In addition to
nature photography for fine art prints, I started working, in 2001, with Jim Wright and
Jerry Barrack developing books on nature. The first book
was In the Presence of Nature: Celery Farm Natural Area in Allendale,
NJ. It was published in
2003 by Camino Books, Inc of Philadelphia, PA. Between 2002 and
2005 we worked in
rainforests of Central America preparing material for Jungle of the Maya
which will be published by The University of Texas Press in late 2006. This work expended my activities to many other types
of wildlife and nature photography. In 2005 we published Duck Enough
to Fly, a story for children about wood duck chicks taking their first
big step into the world. We are currently working on two additional books:
Icky the Hungry Heron and Seasons of the Owl. Images
from these works will be added to the galleries as time permits.
Copyright

Digimarc technology to be identifiable and traceable in both electronic and

Image Quality
Images shown here are optimized for web viewing and do not reflect the true
image quality of the limited edition photo prints. Both water marking and
small file size reduce quality. For example, typical image file sizes here
are 50 to 100kb whereas print files are 50 to 100Mb. For a comparison of the
