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.

The Hermit Thrush was calling it's typical upslurred Catbird-like call. Another field mark was the slightly rufous tail. Seen at Oka Provincial Park.

A rather thin Red-tailed Hawk sitting at the northeast end of Mirabel Airport this afternoon. Hope this one can bulk up and make it through the winter.

Canada Geese began heading right for me as they decended into the Saint Lazare sand pits. In the end about 500 geese were present.
