• Bird photos

I am not trying to take the best bird photographs. I'm telling myself a story about dinosaurs. I left my dinosaur obsession somewhere in early youth under other pressures, but the flame stayed lit. Now we have all this great paleontology identifying our birds as living dinosaurs.

Colorful, sentient, creative, hard-working, child-rearing, cantankerous, collaborative, endlessly interesting dinosaurs are living all around us. I'm reminding myself of a story I continue to love. I find that among the greatest gifts I can give myself is to be able to stand still, and shut up, sharing the songs, and earning the fleeting trust of dinosaurs.

Camera info.

My current camera was a gift from my family. They equipped me with what they thought I needed and they were right. It is a Canon EOS Rebel T3i. I use a 55-250mm lens with image stabilization. I shoot using automatic settings in sport mode which allows rapid fire photos. I crop final photos and lightly use automatic correction settings in Photoshop.
