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.

Seen at 7:00am during an early game drive in Masai Mara, Kenya. I've just learned this species was uplisted to Endangered due to ongoing habitat loss, trapping and poisoning.

Lucky to have this bird fly into the open briefly, contrasting with the dark backdrop of some dense shrubbery. Mount Kenya, Kenya.
