Dinosaurs all around us.
My bird photos.

We are surrounded by dinosaurs. The birds of our planet are colorful, sentient, creative, hard-working, child-rearing, cantankerous, collaborative, endlessly interesting dinosaurs . I am still a dinosaur kid to the core.

The metaphor of the canary in the coal mine is as relevant as ever. If the environment fails, birds soon die. People suffer next. We are all traveling together on Spaceship Earth as Bucky Fuller called it. For your grandchildren, my grandchildren, and their grandchildren, protect our birds.

I have three Facebook galleries immediately below, featuring portraits of birds in different settings. Below those are links to individual galleries of birds by species and location.
