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.

Not a great shot, but nevertheless you don't see a Clay-colored Sparrow everyday - at least I don't. One for the memory book more than the aesthetics. Taken at Long Point, Ontario at the Sparrow fields.

My first time seeing a Whip-poor-will. This bird caused confusion with the experts, as it's wings were crossed at the back, leading folks to believe it was a Common Nighthawk. After further study they determined it was in fact a Whip-poor-will. Seen at Point Pelee, Canada.

The Wild Turkeys at Point Pelee are not at all shy. This one's colours came out in the midday sun.
