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 just after sunrise on the north side of the airport in Montreal. First time we record this species on the Christmas Bird Count in this area.

As part of the Christmas Bird Count 2015, we had a record number of raptors which was great news. This was one of 6 Red-tailed Hawks, along with 2 Rough-legged Hawks, 1 Red-shouldered Hawk and 1 Kestrel at Dorval. We think we under-counted the number of raptors but erred on the cautious side.

Taken during the Christmas Bird Count at Dorval, Quebec, Canada. I've been seeing a pair of Ravens nearly every week for the past couple of years - was finally able to get a decent photo - which I'm assuming is a male and female. We did however see 2 single Ravens later in the day.

Well after searching for hours in Florida over the years - this unmistakable species made a very brief appearance at the Panama Canal. It never came closer.
