Index To My Bird Photo Webpages

    I started photographing birds in February of 2005. Due to the generosity of many birders in the area, I have been able to get a bunch of fairly good shots during the past few years.
    Other than cropping, I do not enhance my pictures, e.g. Photoshop. Further, all of my bird photographs are donated to Audubon.

    My equipment consists of the following:

    Digital Camera Bodies: Nikon D70, Nikon D70S, Nikon D200 and Nikon D300
    Lenses:
    Nikon 80-400 mm f/4.5-5.6 VR AF-ED or Tamron SP AF 200-500mm f/5-6.3 Di LD (IF), handheld, as well as my tripod based longer Sigma 300-800mm, f5.6mm.

    Please click on either the photos or the captions below to go to a webpage and thank you for looking at my photographs.
