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.

It's been almost 20 years since I saw my last Ross's Gull - ironically it was at the exact same location - Fort Chambly, Quebec, just east of Montreal. Very rare visitor to our area.

A chilly 3 degrees but no wind at Saint Jean sur Richelieu made for good viewing of an unexpected visitor. Last rays of light for the day.

With the sun about to go below the horizon, this Great black-back was looking a bit like a light house in the middle of the St-Lawrence river at Montreal.
