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 only saw 1 Shearwater on our trip to Isla Choros, Chile. It was again hard to photograph because it kept disappearing behind the waves.

On Isla Choros, Chile. One of these sparrows was so tame it came to feed from my hand, but I had no food!

We were lucky to have an Inca Tern fly over the boat as we headed off Punto Choros, Chile. A striking tern!
