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.

If you can imagine - this is the 90th upload of this species. Not a great shot but wanted to upload anyway as I don't know what happened to this guy. Several other photos show a strange growth all around his beak. Vancouver Airport.

The background is not the sky, but rather a layer of salt mist suspended in front of Cypress Mountain. The heavy duty fence is the airport perimeter fence at YVR. Didn't want to get any closer so as not to flush this already tired migrant.

I'm surprised there are almost twice as many Marsh Wrens uploaded as House Finches! At Bath Slough Trail, Richmond, BC.

Signing in the rain at Vancouver Airport. The song is quite different than the eastern birds.
