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.

It was only once we got back from the trip that I realized this species was not represented on Birdviewing.com. Seen at Talari Mountain Lodge.

My favourite colour - and with a bit of patience - close up. Talari Mountain Lodge, Costa Rica.

This species is one of the most striking we saw during a brief stay in Costa Rica. The colouring appears surreal but actually shows what we saw. The light reflection off the large leaves nearby may also have helped. Talari Mountain Lodge, Costa Rica.

Every bird photo contains a story behind it, along with a memory of the surroundings and environment. Each photo is different - one of the key reasons for taking more and more photos. Far from a textbook photo - which is fine - I'm happy to have finally seen this Great Gray in our Christmas Bird Count circle at Dorval, Montreal.
