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.

There were 2 birds soaring together today at the airport very close to each other. THis one was slightly darker with a bib-like white patch - however again I think it's a Red-tailed Hawk as in the previous image. Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Very little time for photography in Tanzania, but this female Collared Sunbird appeared right outside my room at Zanzibar and stayed a few minutes.

Although I couldn't manage a photo of the brilliant Emerald Cuckoo, this Klaas's Cuckoo appeared just long enough to get a half-decent image.
