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.

There were several Blue-winged Teals at the Saint-Lazare Sand Pit. I believe the lower right bird is a Mallard however.

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.
