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.

We found by complete luck a nest of a Red-winged Blackbird today. Without wanting to disturb the situation, we quickly snapped this photo and left the area. It was also important to keep the covering reeds over the nest.

Louisiana is heaven for Sparrows, due to the variety of habitats. Seen in the rain, and part of a flock of about 10.

I believe the first photo of a Field Sparrow on Birdviewing! Taken near a hedgerow bordering open fields in Louisiana. Noticeable field marks are the white wing bars and white eye ring.

The White-throated Sparrow is very common in the Louisiana swamp.

Despite terrible photography conditions, the red in the wings of the Swamp Sparrow really stood out.

The Coot was very common on our search for the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.
