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.

What appears to be a first spring male Summer Tanager with an olive tail. This was somewhat unexpected at Long Point.

An example of the good work that Bird Studies Canada is doing at the Long Point Banding Station. Here a bander is holding a Lincoln's Sparrow - the netting is checked every 15min for new birds. Taken at Long Point, Ontario, Canada.

This was taken just after 7:00am on what we named "Cape May Day". The deep yellow and chestnut pattern of this species make it a favourite amongst birders from all over spotting at Long Point.

Not a great shot, but nevertheless you don't see a Clay-colored Sparrow everyday - at least I don't. One for the memory book more than the aesthetics. Taken at Long Point, Ontario at the Sparrow fields.

A bird I've seen only once before, it was great to catch this Yellow-throated Vireo in the early morning at Long Point, Ontario.
