\"MaleMale Williamson’s Sapsucker – Nikon D300, f9, 1\/1250, ISO 640, -03. EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Birds; of all species, delight and enchant me. Their behavior fascinates me and learning more about them expands my mind. Birds never bore me and I probably talk about them incessantly. My friends and family might think that is all I think about. I can’ t seem to shake my addiction to birds.<\/p>\n

I focus on birds both with my mind and my camera and even when I am doing something not bird related my eyes are still scanning for them. Birds occupy my mind both day and night and if there were 36 hours to a day I am sure I’d squeeze in more thoughts about them. I will photograph birds big and small, those that are flashy and those that are dull. From rare to common it doesn’t matter to me. If it has feathers I will photograph it.<\/p>\n

I am a real sucker for birds. Whether it is watching, listening to or photographing them.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
