I enjoy photography first, birding is a side effect of my hobby. Most of my photographs are from the urban landscape of the Midwest United States, which goes to show if you give nature just a little breathing room, amazing things can happen.

This is the area I photograph a lot of my bird photos. Conversely, this is also where they shot some scenes in U.S Marshall's.

Reliance on post process editing is a hotly debated subject in the photography community.

Seeing these guys and having them sit still enough to get a photo are two different things.

While much easier to spot with the fallen leaves. it's still a challenge to get off good shots.
