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.

A pair of Pygmy Nuthatches was so quiet I almost walked right past them. Seen near Mahoney Lake, BC.

Another tough one, however did not want to venture out into the sagebrush to get closer as this is an endangered species in Canada. Seen about 50 meters west of White Lake, BC, Canada.

This shot won't go down as the most aesthetic, however it came up as a surprise to see him on the side of the road, east of Princeton BC. This is my first time seeing this species.

I had a few different angles of this species, but this one depicts the all-orange mandible and the broken eye ring on top of the eye. It helped also that the bird was calling. White Lake Grasslands reserve, BC, Canada.
