How it all started ...
A Yellow Warbler first introduced me to nature photography.
Many years ago while on my lunch break, I parked by a nearby ravine close to where I worked; a small stream ran through it. While enjoying the solitude, a yellow bird landed on my driver-side mirror seemingly unaware of me inside the car (the window was up). He would tap on the mirror with his beak or sometimes fly head-first into it. Wondering if he was looking for a mate or defending territory, I was curious and intrigued by this little yellow bird's tenacity. The following day I purchase my first digital camera, a Kodak 10x optical zoom. I returned to the same spot, and for several days, so did the Yellow Warbler, entertaining me with his aeronautics and one-sided love affair with his image in the mirror. I snapped many pictures, but this one in particular became my favourite, I managed to get this beautiful bird in mid-song as designated by the focused upper beak and the vibrating lower beak.
