I am a retired pilot. Photography is a hobbie, I enjoy photographing everything but Nature Photography and birds are my favorite subjects. Flying birds fascinate me probably because of the pilot thing. I live outside of Sacramento and get out 2 times a week to see the wildlife. I have been taking photo's for 50 years, but digital photography has reenergized me.

I value him as a photographer and kind human being.

BIRDER. the only that word that describes all his work, his patients to catch these in all possible activities. All his collection just speaks everything above mentioned.

Don's got about the best collection of bird, flower, furry critter and landscape shots anywhere on Flickr. I am regularly awed in particular by his shots of birds in flight (no one does it better), but all of his shots show his keen knowledge of his subjects and how best to capture them for posterity. He's also a great member of the Flickr community, visiting and commenting often, giving praise and encouragement with wit and humor. Thanks, Don, for being such an inspiration.
