Birding bring me serenity and photographing the birds I see along the way brings me joy. My photos are my effort to share these moments of encounter. My avatar is a Blue-headed Vireo that I photographed in the autumn of 2025.

NOGA#4. I’m home sick today and looking through some older images. This is a #northerngannet (Morus bassanus) breeding colony on Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland. There is so much going on in this shot! I photographed these lovelies in 2022. #birds #birdphotography
