I am a Lambertville, NJ based professional musician with a passion for going out in nature and photographing birds.

Sometimes you will see an occasional non-avian wildlife photo.

Nuthatch!

This little yellow-rumped warbler is reminding us to keep our heads held high.

This is easily one of my favorite bird shots I've gotten. I love white throated sparrows. I can easily say that their pure, melodic sopranini call is one of my favorite, but I have never cared to much for any of the shots I've gotten for them. This is the shot I was looking for.

Most bird shots you see are birds in very advantageous places for photography, perched on a branch in good light, flying in good light, swimming - you guessed it - in good light. When I go out and photograph birds I am simply making a record of my time spent in nature listening to bird calls, so any photographs you see me post are not even close to a full representation of the aural, visual, and spiritual experience I had out in the field.

Most birds are much easier to hear than see because of their choice of habitat, which of course makes photographing them very difficult. This shot was really tough to get, because the bird was very well hidden in dense brush in low light. The resulting photograph was well worth it, and (in my opinion) is a snapshot of the hidden life of a small common bird.

I still have so many more shots to post of this Snowy Egret from last month! This bird put on a show for me, leaping all over the place to catch fish. This one is particularly dramatic.

The Yellow-Shafted Northern Flicker is the first bird I ever identified while actively "birding." I went to John Heinz for my birthday in 2015, which was the first time I ever brought binoculars on a hike and tried to spot as many birds as I could. I saw a dull grey bird in the distance and was shocked to see all of the beautiful markings when I put the binoculars up to my eyes.

I saw this little palm warbler scurrying around the dense twigs of a small tree. I definitely had given up on the idea of getting a good shot of this bird when it jumped on a well lit twig for a split second before flying off. This shot required some reflexes!!

A job well done.

I got so many great shots of this Snowy Egret, I don't even know where to start. I observed it hunting (from a distance) for a good 30 minutes. It would stand still, then suddenly do an adorable little flying skip that ended with it plummeting its head in the water.

Did pretty well too, but not nearly as well as the Great Egret I photographed.

I sure am pleased with this shot. This Great Egret caught 3 fish at once right in front of me! A bird's work is never done though, it went right back to hunting after swallowing all three whole.

Of all the bird shots I get, my favorites are always the shot of birds singing. Head tilted back, mouth wide open, as if they are singing with their whole body. As my own singing voice has opened up recently, I've found I'm using more and more of my body to produce a full voice, so when I look at this photo I think, "I guess birds already figured that out epochs ago."

This purple Martin would make a great Star Wars villain.
