I'm a San Diego-based birder and photographer who's been pursuing my passion non-stop since 2005. I love chasing rarities and capturing them through my lens, which has also come in handy for proving the existence of rare birds to skeptics.

In addition to my birding pursuits, I have a website where I display my pictures at sdbirder.com.

I'm looking forward to connecting with other birders and photographers on this platform, and contributing to the community's collective knowledge of the natural world.
