Susan Amons lives on a rare and beautiful peninsula in southern Maine. The estuary forms the western boundary, and the ocean stretches out to the east. Every day, Susan observes unusual birds and animals living in this preserved pocket of wildlife habitat. Marsh hawks, eagles, ibis, geese, mink, and fisher cats, are some of the species included in her repertoire of study. In late summer, Susan camps in the solitude of the north woods. The lake supports it’s own unique selection of species including; salmon, trout, moose, otter, and loons. Susan loves to sit on a rock in the stream and paint.
