To describe my lifelong fascination with flight and with creatures that fly I like to echo the words of John James Audubon who in 1839 wrote of himself as "...one who never can cease to admire and to study with zeal and the most heartfelt reverence, the wonderful productions of an Almighty Creator."

White Storks in Bulgaria
Just back from 10 days of traveling in Europe, and seriously sleep-deprived, I'm beginning to review the many encounters with fascinating birds in Bulgaria, Turkey, Switzerland and France. On one early morning walk on my friends' farm in France, I unknowingly crossed the border into a patch of forest in Switzerland. The border guards that came driving through seemed quite surprised to find me there with binoculars, but my bird book served as a convincing passport, and they drove away smiling. I saw White Storks in Basel, Switzerland, but wasn't able to get decent photos until a few days later in Bulgaria.
