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.

Dark-phase Rough-legged Hawk, one of 3 seen on yesterday's Christmas Bird Count covering the airport area at Montreal. Amazingly, a total of 12 hawks including Red-tailed and Harrier were seen making it the highest total in 2 decades of doing the airport count.
