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 in our effort to document every bird species, still worthwhile uploading. This ended up being the only of it's type seen on the trip. Masai Mara, Kenya.

The huge vultures in the Mara of southwest Kenya were impressive to watch.

There were some bird species that only appeared once, and fleetingly. This Sooty Chat ended up being the only one we saw. Southwestern Kenya near the Tanzanian border.
