2006 uploads
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.

A good way to start 2021 - with a lifer. Bonus that we didn't have an upload of this species either. Surrey, BC.
New Years resolutions 1) try to get out for photography even with the expanded family; 2) get Birdviewing 2.0 up and running :)

It was very very weird looking for a Blue Jay today. Even weirder to hear and see him...brought back memories of the east. Ladner, BC. Note - crest blown back due to the wind.

It's been a couple of years since I've had a Bald Eagle upload. Finally found some time to get out today. South Arm Marsh, Ladner, BC, Canada.

The first rule is always to have the camera ready - thankfully that happened today (whereas usually I'm not quick enough on the draw). An absolutely stunning surprise for us today at Boundary Bay.

This poor little guy gets little attention. Same number of uploads as Trumpeter Swans! THe great thing about bird photography - it never gets old, even the common ones. Boundary Bay.

About 2 min after this bird zipped by, a Willet and a Marbled Godwit, along with several dozens sandpipers came in the opposite direction - amazing what he can flush. Boundary Bay, BC.
