Bird Checklist

I love bird photography - it is one of my favorite parts of my photography hobby. (It's also extremely frustrating at times. Why can't I get that bird in the frame...darn it, it's gone.)

But when a photo comes out? It's glorious.

That said, most of my friends and family aren't quite as obsessed about bird photography as I am. "That's nice" they'll say, then start inching away as I scroll through the pictures list. So, while you're here, let me show you a few of my favorites. (OK, all of my favorites are here. I can see you inching away already...)
