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 parked at the Dorval weather station, to my huge surprise a Cooper's Hawk flew up from a ditch right beside my car. Fortunately I had the camera. The bird stayed for about a minute but was being dive-bombed by a Kestrel. It then flew over runway 24R and into the woods on the north side of the airport.
