Your Bio

I started this site in May 2008. It was supposed to be a place to post photographs of trips and events for family and friends to enjoy. As it turns out, I got caught up posting mostly bird images.

Jody and I started birding in 2006. We now thoroughly enjoy exploring new locations and discovering new birds. It's a never-ending treasure hunt. Capturing birds in the wild with a digital camera is our way of tagging and releasing.

As of November 2009, the birds galleries contain over 200 species photographed in the U.S. As I add more species I will be breaking out the galleries into avian orders.
