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.

I was somewhat lucky to see this striking bird so close. Very active but tricky to photograph in focus in the forest. Point Pelee, Ontario, Canada.

A huge stir occurred at Long Point, Ontario last Saturday when a Bell's Vireo turned up. The bird is fairly similar in appearance to the Blue-headed Vireo (former Solitary Vireo) but with a less distinctive eye-ring/lore pattern. Not a great photo, but a record of the event nonetheless.

A flock of Black Oystercatchers trying to land near this Mew Gull flushed the bird I was photographing.
