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.

A scene I didn't think I'd ever see - an Aplomado Falcon being chased by a Kestrel. What made this so unexpected was that I wasn't aware this species was present in Texas. Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge.
