I love birds. And I love photography. But, I’m no birding expert. I just enjoy the challenge of photographing birds, and I hope to improve my knowledge of birds and my photography skills at the same time. Though I try hard, don’t rely on me to always identify birds correctly or have all of my facts completely straight. Feel free to ignore, comment, correct, share, advise, and teach.

Because…

Birds can fly and sing - often at the same time

Birds, all 18000 species, descended from three species of dinosaur

Birds know the way home - even from far away

Birds come in colors

Birds have feathers, shapes, sizes

Birds warn us about threats like predators, coal mine gases, and climate change

Birds are resilient - in spite of what we humans may do to challenge them
