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.

I'm always impressed by this group - just when I thought perhaps I had a new species for the site, sure enough this Redstart is covered :)
See at Monteverde, Costa Rica.

Will need some expert advice on this situation. These wild Scarlet Macaws were seen a few kilometers away from Manuel Antonio Park on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. While they were feeding on those wild fruits, apparently a few years ago a group of Scarlet Macaws were part of a re-introduction program of 15 birds originally placed at Manuel Antonio Park. So now I'm not sure of the official status of these birds I photographed, which may be the same or offspring.

At first we weren't sure what we were looking at. This tiny friend was almost missed, but ended up being a great addition to the trip. Savegre coast, Costa Rica.
