A relentless warblerholic, I completed my birding quest of photographing all 52 species of American wood warblers in 2019 (ref. to my Flickr Albums). As a modern day "plume hunter", I pursue the avian world digitally to take my lifelist beyond 14% of all world species! Note: I use Flickr primarily as a tool to connect with other birders and their bird photography to enjoy Avian Nature in all its forms. I'm less interested in photography simply as an artistic pursuit to maximize "favs" and "comments" but make no judgement on those who do.

You can reach me via email at hemant.kishan@gmail.com or through my blog (only erratically updated) at www.digitalplumehunter.com/

I appreciate kindred avian photodocumenters who are conscientious about species identification, location and camera EXIF.

I first met Digital Plume Hunter at Magee Marsh during Spring migration some years back. I've since had the pleasure of working in the field with him in Michigan a handful of times as well. He is very knowledgable about birds and is well traveled in pursuit of his hobby to many fine birding locations across North America. He is pleasant company in the field and I look forward to shooting again with him in the future.
