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.

Another rather strange scene, with similar plumage showing on the female Purple Finch (left) and female Rose-breasted Grosbeak (right). Long Point, Ontario.

One could be forgiven at first glance to think there was a pair of House Finch's on Sue and Ahmad's feeder at Long Point - however this female is a Purple Finch mixing things up.

These guys aren't seen very often, so here's one for our viewing pleasure despite the messy foreground. Port Rowan sewage lagoon, Ontario.

Another low-light shot, just before sunset. I probably wouldn't have uploaded, however this provided a unique comparison of the Forster's and Common Tern right next to each other. The Forster's has lighter wing tips, slightly more orange bill, deeper forked tail. Long Point, Ontario, Canada.

A heard and then saw a Woodcock land in front of the car at Long Point, Ontario. It was after sunset but with some light still around. I managed a long exposure to capture the scene, though quite grainy at high ISO.
