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 hope it's useful to post nest photos: this is almost unmistakable, but the Altamira Oriole is usually quite a bit longer. Santa Margarita Ranch

The bird of the year for Vancouver. Our little friend was active again today, and fortunately there was a short break in the fog bank to allow sunlight through. Vancouver city centre.

Canada's first Taiga Flycatcher. A real pleasure to see the behaviour of this little one in downtown Vancouver, together with dozens of other birdwatchers and many passer-byes who were wondering what all these people with long lenses were doing in the city.
