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.

There were many species on the trip where I was unable to get a good shot - however at least the identifying field marks are visible - in this case the darker rose crown compared to the face colouring. City of Rocks National Reserve, Idaho.

Seeing an old friend - one of our first bird encounters growing up was having a group of this species invade the yard - only never to see them again for years. Swan Lake, BC.

When we stepped out of the car, we heard what at first sounded like 100 Great-crested Flycatchers in the distance. Upon closer inspection, we found a terrific flock of Evening Grosbeaks. Swan Lake, BC.
