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.

Probably the luckiest birding event since moving to BC. I happened to walk up to Dave Beeke about 200 meters out on Boundary Bay looking at a Little Stint. Within 2 minutes had a lifer - as well as a great education on various sandpipers. Thanks to him for showing me and a group of others this little friend from afar.
