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.

With difficult conditions, this was the only other species I could photograph at Mirabel, Quebec. Now into the deep freeze...

Conditions at their worst during this shot. However I was lucky to be up-wind when this flock landed nearby. I observed some habits of the Snow Bunting - always attempting to face the wind, and often looking downward even when not feeding. One of my favourite species...at Mirabel, Quebec

It is always amazing to see these birds handle the most treacherous winter conditions. Mirabel, Quebec, Canada.

A rare moment of clarity during an otherwise challenging afternoon of high winds and blowing snow. I decided to spend time at one of my favourite locations, Mirabel, Quebec.

We apparently were lucky to see this species lower down, as it prefers the upper-levels of forest cover. Gamboa, Panama.
