Here's a big surprise - I'm really into birds. My interest in birds led to my interest in photography. I pretty much wore out my first camera (Canon 20d) and have just about worn out my 40d as well. I have a number of lenses including a 100-400 IS Zoom, a 300mm f/2.8 lens and a 180mm Macro.
I spent a couple of years working for the Hawk Migration Association of North America and spend every spare moment in the fall on the side of a mountain counting migrating hawks (and taking a few pictures).
If you are interested in using any of my photos, please drop me a line here or at sbbyland@aol.com and maybe we can work something out. I have thousands of photos that are not displayed here on Flickr - mostly birds and animals as you might guess.

Steve has been a contact of mine from my very first days on Flickr. It is obvious his love of nature and photography. He has the patience and dedication that it takes to get the shot. And has so many outstanding captures. It is always a pleasure to visit his stream.
I could look at Steve's photostream all day long. He has created a diverse collection of NJ wildlife in incredible poses, great lighting, and compositions. Well done!
Steve is just wonderful and his photography, incredible... Take a look at his photostream: what an amazing talent and great eye!
