I know several birders besides myself keep a "life list" of other birders we have met! Judy and I certainly do so. There are SO many of y'all we want to meet!!! Really it is the whole community of birders and their postings on the internet that activates us to go forth to new adventures!!! We try to "capture" birders - as well as birds - in our photos. Actually it is a huge treasure for us to meet birders we only know from their internet postings that drive us forth!

(... if anyone does not want to be here, please tell me and I will immediately take down the pic - else I figure everyone is "fair game" like the birds we are occasionally lucky enough to shoot in the wild ...)

Be sure to identify yourself to other birders when you are out birding! You never know who that birder who just put you on a new bird might have been unless you ask!

Fun!!! I hope y'all like!

Note: many (most?) of the pics were taken my my wonderful wife Judy who has a "shorter lens" in the field than I. I am SO lucky to have such a supportive wife for my current obsession!!!
