Birding since the late 1980s...mid 40s birder. Being out in nature and hearing the morning chorus, seeing how birds interact with their surroundings and go about their lives provides me a greater understanding of the natural environment we live in. With bird photography, every photo is different, which makes seeing the same and different species exciting.
Not one, but 3 Yellow-rumped Warblers today at the feeders. There was a successful nest last year - wondering if somehow the same birds made their way back to the same location.
