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 all shots are picture perfect; some just a blip in time. For my 800th it will be this Peregrine Falcon over Cote de Liesse at the airport in Dorval, Quebec yesterday. Great to see a Peregrine patrolling the skies in the west island of Montreal. A bird that nearly went extinct due to pesticides is now making a comeback.

This Nashville Warbler was searching for food at the Cote Ste Catherine wildlife area along the Saint Lawrence River near Montreal. Very late migrant in December.

This is the latest Gray Catbird I've seen in Montreal - Dec 20th. Photo taken on today's Christmas Bird Count at Dorval, Quebec. Thanks to Greg for spotting it - he got much better pics than I did.
