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.

We happened to be in Jonathan Dickinson State Park on Audubon Christmas count day, but couldn't participate due to time. However a kind observer gave us directions on where to go to see this bird. They sometimes stay quiet low in the bushes, but then can also make loud series of calls. A unexpected 'lifer' for me.

This bird was fairly easy to photograph as it doesn't move as fast as other warblers. Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Florida.

The Mockingbird is very tempting to photograph as it sits on exposed perches so often. Near Jupiter, Florida.

This Ibis did well in grabbing a critter just offshore in the intra coastal waterway at Jupiter, Florida.
