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.

After not having any success with this species, I was able to get this follow-up photo after hiding for awhile behind some reeds - and giving the knees a workout. Iona, Richmond, BC.

I couldn't resist taking him - even though he'd been quite flustered all evening. Iona, BC, Canada.

Having 2 pairs of this species in the same marsh as several Red-winged Blackbirds seems to be causing the Redwings quite a bit of stress. However they generally leave each other alone. Iona regional park, BC, Canada.

Where there were Blue-winged Teal, there were Cinnamon Teal - at least tonight at Iona, Richond, BC. Not a lifer, but a new species to photograph for me.

The Blue-winged Teal I was referring to when hiding behind a row a vegetation, when a Black-headed Grosbeak flew in over my head. Iona regional park, Richmond, BC, Canada
