I’ve always enjoyed photography, but my interest and passion for birding and wildlife actually began with my first trip to Africa in 2002. It was a “life-changing experience!” The overwhelming emotions of that trip, the incredible natural settings, scenery, and sunsets, the abundant wildlife, the spectacular colorful birds, and the African culture and people... it all together ignited a powerful passion inside me.

I maintain a detailed lifelist of every bird species I've observed, which I openly share for others to view. I'm also a bird photographer, trying to get a photo of every bird I've seen on my lifelist. These are similar, yet different goals to achieve.

It's often a real challenge to find, observe, and determine the bird species in the field, and then also capture a decent photograph... in focus, with proper exposure, showing the field marks for ID... all before the bird flies away! Sometimes... I don't get ANY photo. That’s birding photography!

As an active Audubon Society and American Birding Association member, I enjoy the fun and the challenge of birding and photography… whether on some far away birding trail across the globe, or on a local weekend bird walk.
