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.

What a treat to a Black Baza flying over. Almost missed it altogether looking downward at other activity - Marriott Bird Sanctuary, Khao Lak.

While looking for the Cassin's Sparrow, I saw this bird which initially I wrote off as a Pectoral Sandpiper only to review the photos later and have Sharp-tailed suggested by Merlin. Boundary Bay, Delta, BC, 100 meters west of 96th Street.
