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.

As I was driving along after a thunderstorm, I saw this guy sitting in a tree getting completely mobbed by Red-wings. South of Brooks, Alberta.

The variety of species in the area of Brooks Alberta was stunning. Had just enough time to get some photography done before the severe weather moved in.

The poor little Brewer's Sparrow is one of the plainest-looking songbirds in North America. Thankfully his distinctive song gave him away. Taken between Medicine Hat and Brooks, Alberta. Happy to have him be my 700th species upload!

Well I won't be able to top Brian's Black-and-White Warbler, but this was a surprise as I didn't think I had any workable Bay-breasted Warbler photos this year. Long Point Provincial Park, Ontario.
