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.

outside normal range, multiple species
I went to check on our little friend in downtown Vancouver at the Aquatic Centre. No birdwatchers were there when I arrived. After walking down the beach a few blocks towards Jervis, I found him/her in a tree with the behaviour I saw before - low feeder, flying to the ground, then back back for a 30sec pause in low branches. Once I found it, others surrounded me, both casual passerbys and other photographers. Even 2 kids, who asked what was going on, and then ran closer to the bird when I explain how rare it was. Amongst the hundreds of joggers, dogs, gulls, crows, and us birdwatchers, plus the chilly foggy weather, it's pretty amazing to see this little one hanging on far outside it's normal range.
