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.

"Usually hard to see, because the undergrowth is so thick"...as the field guide says, this wasn't easy. I saw something moving, raised the camera, she saw me and I saw her - one picture and disappeared. Satchatamia Lodge trail.
