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.

nest
This is the nest site of a White-tailed Ptarmigan, found completely by chance when we stumbled upon an adult "clucking". There is a chick in the nest. Seen at Rocky Mountain National Park.

summer plummage
The White-tailed Ptarmigan was extremely hard to find. We were lucky to stumble across this one that was making noise because a nest was nearby - otherwise we never would have seen it.
