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.

I haven't seen this species since April 1990, so it was a tremendous reward not only to see him but to get a photo. West of White Lake, Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada.

This has been a Vesper Sparrow year; must have seen at least 2 dozen in the region between Calgary and Medicine Hat.

At first upon stumbling on this lone bird near Tilley, Alberta I was sure I had a Sprague's Pipit. However at closer look, this was actually a young Horned Lark.

Not the best shot, but a photo for the records. No matter which direction you looked, the area near Lake Newell Alberta just kept on producing different bird species that morning.
