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.

It was only later that I realized this female may have been at a nest, but not sure. Seen in the area between Brooks and Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Starting the day off with a sparkling Cinnamon Teal was a good omen. Near Lake Newell, Alberta.

It was a surprise to stumble upon the area around Lake Newell, Alberta teeming with birds, from Redheads, Canvasbacks, Ruddy Ducks, Shovelers, Teals, Scaup, Brewer's, Vesper and Clay-coloured Sparrows, Meadowlarks, Longspurs, Larks, Willets, Avocets, Stilts, Upland Sandpipers, Ibis, Pelicans...almost too much to take in in one morning. What a special area.
