2009 has been a banner year for images published, and while summer is drawing to a close the successes show no sign of slowing down. July brought two front covers: Birds & Blooms (Scarlet Tanager - see photo) and Your Big Backyard (Mallard). Also in July Bird Watcher's Digest ran my article "Sun Worshippers" about sunbathing birds. September has my Black-throated Blue Warbler on the back cover of Birds & Blooms Extra, and in the October issue of Birder's World my full-page image of a pair of Blue-crowned Motmots graces the table of contents.

I was reminded of my long-term relationship with Birder's World today. Clearing out old papers in a desk drawer I found the letter recording my very first sale to Birder's World—an article and photos "The Season of the Sora" that ran in the March April 1989 issue. 20 years ago! Deeper down in the pile was an even older record of my very first photo sale—to Swara, the magazine of the East African Wildlife Society for a photo of Secretary Birds that ran in February 1987!

So began a photo career that has spanned 22+ years and several continents!

Winter 2007-2008 has brought some exciting birds to Upstate New York: Pine Grosbeaks, Common Redpolls, Pine Siskins, and Evening Grosbeaks. It's all been part of one of the largest irruptions of winter finches seen in the Northeast USA for many years, as these birds have moved southward in high numbers from their normal ranges in the far north.
