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 couldn't resist taking him - even though he'd been quite flustered all evening. Iona, BC, Canada.

Having 2 pairs of this species in the same marsh as several Red-winged Blackbirds seems to be causing the Redwings quite a bit of stress. However they generally leave each other alone. Iona regional park, BC, Canada.

Where there were Blue-winged Teal, there were Cinnamon Teal - at least tonight at Iona, Richond, BC. Not a lifer, but a new species to photograph for me.

The Blue-winged Teal I was referring to when hiding behind a row a vegetation, when a Black-headed Grosbeak flew in over my head. Iona regional park, Richmond, BC, Canada

A strange occurrence - I was carefully photographing a Blue-winged Teal when I heard a distinctive song behind me. After hearing and seeing many Rose-breasted Grosbeaks in Ontario last week, it occurred to me the song might actually be this species, which I've not seen in 28 years. Sure enough, he came out of heavy shrubbery just long enough for a quick snap, then he was gone. Iona regional park, Richmond, BC.
