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.

Amazingly this photo has not been enhanced in colour. The Scarlet Tanager could be seen from a good distance with its bright plumage. Taken at Point Pelee, Ontario, Canada.

I was somewhat lucky to see this striking bird so close. Very active but tricky to photograph in focus in the forest. Point Pelee, Ontario, Canada.

A huge stir occurred at Long Point, Ontario last Saturday when a Bell's Vireo turned up. The bird is fairly similar in appearance to the Blue-headed Vireo (former Solitary Vireo) but with a less distinctive eye-ring/lore pattern. Not a great photo, but a record of the event nonetheless.
