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.

A cool +8C and mostly cloudy today but enough light to catch these over the Main River at Frankfurt.

Even while cloudy with spits of rain and cool temperatures the Robin manages to sing a lively tune.

Many Florida Scrub Jays have been banded due to their very limited range and vulnerability. Thankfully there is the Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Florida.

I think this bird is one of my top 5 favourite species, along with the Snowy Owl, Black-capped Chickadee, Cardinal and Snow Bunting. Competition with Starlings for nest holes has greatly reduced their numbers. Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Florida.

We happened to be in Jonathan Dickinson State Park on Audubon Christmas count day, but couldn't participate due to time. However a kind observer gave us directions on where to go to see this bird. They sometimes stay quiet low in the bushes, but then can also make loud series of calls. A unexpected 'lifer' for me.

This bird was fairly easy to photograph as it doesn't move as fast as other warblers. Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Florida.
