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.

nest
We found by complete luck a nest of a Red-winged Blackbird today. Without wanting to disturb the situation, we quickly snapped this photo and left the area. It was also important to keep the covering reeds over the nest.
