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.

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.

I'm not a Gull expert, but for an unknown reason this Slaty-backed Gull does not seem to be in winter plumage despite it being the end of Feb. Are they already molting?
