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.

I don't think I've seen a Coot out of water - look at the size of those feet. It was standing on a partially-submerged park bench, as the Main River was overflowing in Frankfurt.

While owling at the airport on the Montreal Christmas Bird Count, tapes of Screech and Great-horned didn't produce anything. Squeaking worked in drawing in this Barred Owl. A 10 second exposure was needed at 6:50am while it was still dark. 300mm lens, f5.6, using a flashlight for additional light.
