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.

5 White-winged Crossbills were seen feeding in the St-Lazare pinery this afternoon. This is not the easiest bird to photograph, and took me 111 photos to get one somewhat clear.
