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.

Another species seen only once and for a few seconds. Masai Mara, Kenya. Named for the arrow-shaped feathers on the throat.

These warblers are just as difficult to spot, identify and photograph as some of the skulkers we have in North America. Seen at Masai Mara, Kenya.

I had a lot of difficulty getting some species photographed in Kenya, as the thick underbrush made lighting and focusing difficult. Yet another bird seen only once, this was at Masai Mara.
