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.

For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that I was looking at a new lifer and also a new species for Birdviewing. I only realized after returning home this was not a Semipalmated Plover!

What I believe is a Meadow Pipit, but please feel free to correct or comment. Seen at Vik, Iceland.

This bird came within 5 feet of me and seemed completely fine with my presence. Seen outside Reykjavik, Iceland last weekend.

In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon, here is a photo of the specimen mounted at the Visitor's Centre at Point Pelee. The last bird died in Cincinnati in 1914.

Not a whole lot of photos of this species on Birdviewing. Not sure why. Here is a tired male foraging on the ground suring migration on a wet morning at Long Point, Ontario.

Note the lack of a rusty tail (Hermit Thrush) and the lack of buff or beige on the side of the head (Swainson's Thrush). Seen at Long Point, Ontario during spring migration. Thanks to Sue for the ID on this bird.
