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.

Birds in the Louisiana swamps are difficult to approach - for these I had to creep up from behind the trees, all while camouflaged.

Seen near the Zepplinheim Train Station, south of Frankfurt. The low winter light helped when the bird flew up to a perch in the sun.

Not a cloud in the sky and a crisp 6 degrees. The sun's low altitude on the winter horizon finally made for the lighting conditions I hoped for. See between Frankfurt and Hoechst, along the Main.
