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.

Finally back from the trip and catching up. One morning at Bentson Rio Grande presented some of the best photo ops in a long time. Here a White-tipped Dove (right) approaches a little too close to a Mourning Dove.

A long time coming - but finally saw him in real life. Did not expect a photo but it was an early Christmas present. Bentson Rio Grande State Park. Surprisingly, this becomes the 5th country in which this species has been photographed on Birdviewing.
