"Even though I have been photographing birds since 1983, I am as excited each day that I venture in the field with a big tripod-mounted super-telephoto lens slung over my shoulder as I was when I went out for the first time more than 22 years ago. Making beautiful bird photographs and teaching others to do the same is my life's passion. Through my BIRDS AS ART Instructional Photo-Tours, The Art of Nature Photography: It Ain't Just Birds; Weekend Seminars, and the dozens of appearances that I make each year, I reach thousands of folks who are nuts about birds and simply want to learn to make better images.â€
