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.

After countless trips to see the very few birds hanging around south Texas, it was a real treat to finally stumble upon this impressive bird. Satchatamia Lodge trail.

One of the first birds of the day at Las Cotingas. The angle and light fortunately bringing our the marvelous iridescence - a bit of competition for all the hummingbirds :)

Las Cotingas. There was so much activity this bird was almost missed. Fortunately it was relatively close to a Quetzal and someone yelled out advising of another bird to ID.
