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.

While walking along the Hokkaido coast at Abashiri, Japan. Was very lucky to turn around just in time to catch this Steller's Sea Eagle approaching from behind. This bird almost seems unreal, like a character from a Disney movie.

In a bid to add all 9000 species of birds on the website, here is the first Dusky Thrush. This is a bird I actually saw first in Vancouver in the 1990s.
