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.

At the Montreal airport in a crabapple tree on May 11, 2007. The bird was within the airport perimeter so it was inaccessible to most, unfortunately.
