Being the focus of my career based work, birds have been my source of passion within the wildlife field since my college days. Birds provide an infinite amount of character, beauty, and flavor to the landscape that would otherwise be void of such tendencies. The 11,000 bird species present on Earth represent some of the most common creatures anywhere, such as the House Sparrow- and also some of the most specialized, localized, incredibly rare species discovered by science. Birds have been a subject of curiosity to researchers for over 250 years, and among wildlife are some of the most well-described and understood animals out there.

I have been using birds as photographic subjects since I started taking my first photos. The splendor and animation birds add to a scene can completely alter how I capture a photo, and also how the viewer can interpret the photograph.
