Below are both photos and a life list of the birds I’ve seen, ie, all the birds I’ve seen in my lifetime. Being a photographer, my goal isn’t just to see a certain type of bird, but rather, to also get a good shot of one. My goal is to have my life list matched with a good-to-great photo of each bird. All birds are completely wild and photographed practicing ethical standards.
