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.

Sometimes taken photos in subdued light works better for colourful birds. This was taken while lying down at the Smith Oaks Sanctuary on High Island, Texas

Extremely fortunate to have finally seen a Brown Jay. Apparently there are only a handful of individuals in the United States. Santa Margarita, west of Roma Texas.
