Welcome to my bird and nature photography web site!
This site contains blog posts with my photos and the stories behind the images plus my extensive photo galleries which contain more than 7800 photos of birds, wildlife, flowers and trees along with images of the landscapes I visit. I feel that it is important to tell the stories behind my images.
Wander with me on my photographic journeys via my blog posts and feel free to look through my photo galleries.
Please excuse the fact that not all of my portfolios are complete, I was am in the process of migrating my old photo galleries because the program I was using is no longer working well quit functioning.
I am currently working on moving these remaining galleries:
- Wading Birds (Reddish Egrets and Tricolored Herons)
- Some Landscape and Travel Images

Pine Siskin Close Up Photos
I am always glad when a bird unexpectedly flies in so that I can take close up photos because close ups show so much fine detail in their plumage and that is what happened earlier this week with a Pine Siskin.
