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.

Seen at Punto Choros, Chile. Surprisingly the boat operator didn't even see the bird, as he was occupied with dolphins that were around the boat.

My first sighting of an Albatross. The boat was moving up an down with 10' swells so it was hard to get a clear shot.

It was interesting to watch the Surfbirds play with the waves. Just before the next wave approached, they all turned in the same direction.
