Bird Photography

 

Pablo Neruda, in a poem entitled " A poet says good-bye to the birds" summed up the reason I bird.

"I've wandered the world in search of life:

bird by bird I've come to know the earth;

discovered where the fire flames aloft:

the expenditure of energy

and my disinterestedness were rewarded,

even though no one paid me for it,

because I received those wings in my soul

and immobility never held me down."

 

Photography has made me pay more attention to birds than simply identification.  Below are selections

of photos from several trips.  Feel free to use, but please credit me.
