Nesting Behavior - The Romantic Memoir of a New England Nature Photographer
The year is 1998 and by all appearances, aspiring nature photographer, Gustav W. Verderber, is a vagabond - or, as his father not-so-affectionately refers to him, a “nature bum”. We first meet him, early one, foggy morning, standing in his underwear as he relieves himself on the Cutler, Maine wharf. And later that morning, when almost anyone else would be primping and fussing and scurrying about, attending to last minute details in preparation for their impending nuptials just hours away, Verderber is hopping on a lobster boat to photograph puffins on Machias Seal Island - eager to get the shot that would finally put him on the professional map - and getting whitewashed in bird guano in the process. He returns with a single roll of unexposed film in his belly pack, preciously saved because there is, after all, the likelihood that he’ll be attending his wedding that evening - that is, if his longtime love actually shows up – and he’d certainly want some photos to commemorate the event.
Nesting Behavior is an exploration of the sometimes sordid (funding his master’s research by hustling in the Florida Keys), sometimes morbid (running over the local police chief’s cat on his first trip to Acadia National Park), but always humorous contingencies that ultimately find this itinerant naturalist and photographer by the tide pools on the Schootic Point peninsula at the end of a truly remarkable and quintessential Down East day. Verderber’s unorthodox wedding is the focal point of a compelling narrative that takes the reader on a journey through his unconventional life to eventually become one of New England’s foremost nature photographers. Infused with the author’s passion for natural history, plus some insights into the art of nature photography, Nesting Behavior is a poignant, homespun New England love story rich with Down East characters and places.
“Nesting Behavior is great, super wonderful.”

“I recently vacationed in Yellowstone armed with your travel guide. You are "dead on" in every detail. Thank you so much for divulging so many secrets.”
Natalie Nestor“Your guide has enabled me to save countless days of searching by informing me of critical times, locations and access points. It is one of the best investments I have ever made. I can’t thank you enough!”

“I purchased your book Photographing Yellowstone National Park and found it to be one of the best guide books I've read. On my first visit to Yellowstone, I used your suggestions extensively and got some great shots. Your suggestion about West Thumb Geyser Basin at sunrise was spot on and yes, I found the trail up the hill behind Grand Prismatic Spring although I think I took the hard way up and got a great shot. Great book! ”
Larry Young"I bought a number of (Yellowstone) books and a friend loaned me more - yours is the most helpful - thanks for writing it."
