Up in northern Quebec, I got to photograph songbird migration in a very special way this year. Thank's to some unique weather conditions, many waves of warblers were foraging at the shoreline, for multiple days. One of my favourite photo ended being one where I didn't quite have the proximity of previous encounters. I used my 100-400 f/8 to capture the contrasty scene. I liked how this Blackburnian Warbler stood out in that little shadowy patch in the rocks.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
