and what we can do to help them thrive. Bannick’s startling photographs illustrate behaviors, such as courtship displays, that are heretofore only available as illustrations elsewhere. These images are complemented by decades of first-hand experience with these birds during all seasons of the year and reflect the latest science. “If your average picture is worth a thousand words, a Paul Bannick wildlife photograph is worth 20,000.

STATEWIDE Maine’s Energy Office has prepared a Winter Heating Guide to help Maine people stay warm this winter and know where to find assistance if needed. This includes steps to receive emergency fuel if necessary, sign up for automatic fuel delivery, or find support for energy bills or to help insulate your homes. If you need to order heating fuel, we advise contacting your supplier before your tank falls below one-third full, to give busy fuel delivery companies time to schedule your delivery. Extended periods of low temperatures can result in frozen water pipes. To prevent water pipes from freezing, try these methods:

Keep garage doors closed, especially if there are water supply lines in the garage. Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing, especially if your sink is on an exterior wall. If you have small children, be sure to remove any harmful cleaners and household chemicals from the open cabinets.

Let the cold water drip from a faucet of the exposed pipes. Running water through the pipes even at a trickle helps prevent pipes from freezing. Keep the thermostat set to the same temperature during day and night. A cold snap is not the time to set back the thermostat at night to save a few bucks on your heating bill. If you plan to be away during cold weather, leave the heat on in your home and set to a temperature no lower than 55 F. For the long term, add insulation to attics, basements, and crawl spaces. Insulation will maintain higher temperatures in those areas. To prevent drafts, seal cracks and openings around windows, doors, and at
sill plates where the house rests on its foundation. If your pipes do freeze, you can safely thaw them with the following actions: Turn on the faucet. Running water through the pipe, as cold as it is, will help melt ice in the pipe. Apply heat to the section of pipe using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe, an electric hair dryer, or a portable space heater (kept away from flammable materials). Do not use a blowtorch, a kerosene or propane heater, a charcoal stove, or any device with an open flame as high heat can damage the pipes or even start a fire. See PIPES page 2... Have you seen our
