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.

With the sun about to go below the horizon, this Great black-back was looking a bit like a light house in the middle of the St-Lawrence river at Montreal.

juvenile, outside normal range
Dozens of people came to see this young Sharp-tailed Sandpiper at Baie du Febvre east of Montreal today. The bird is extremely rare in the region.
A lifer, and appears to also be the first upload of the species on Birdviewing.
