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.

Got lucky with this striking species. It took some time to get the settings right with heavy shadows from the large trees. Madera Canyon.

A few photos didn't work as planned. Hillside that was not easy to walk on, along with quite a lot of hiker traffic made this session tricky. Completely missed the Olive Warbler. Madera Canyon.

At Santa Rita Lodge, Arizona.The odd lighting is due to the bright gravel underneath, with a heavy canopy above.

I've always found it interesting that such a large bird, with one of the largest wingspans in North America is successfully breeding across a wide range of interior North America. At Market Lake, Idaho.
