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 Enosburg, Vermont. I may have been near a nest by complete chance, as I’ve not been so close to an excited Ovenbird.

I've always had trouble with the fast-moving redstart. This came in subdued light which helped. Smith Oaks, Galveston, Texas

Sometimes taken photos in subdued light works better for colourful birds. This was taken while lying down at the Smith Oaks Sanctuary on High Island, Texas
