Title
Green Backed Heron | Bird photography and identification
Description
I currently live in Waterloo, Iowa with my wife of 28 years, Nancy. Our boys Jake and Josh live in Chicago and Colorado. Jake who designed this website with his wife Shondi and Josh with his girlfriend Day who took the attached photo. I got interested in looking at birds when I moved here in 1999 and a friend showed me the beautiful colors of a meadowlark through a spotting scope. I soon got interested in photographing the darn things.
I started with the interesting mode of digiscoping with a Nikon Coolpix 995 attached to my Swarovski AT 80 HD spotting scope and have also added the Canon 10D and 20D digital slrs with the Canon 100-400IS lens.
I've always enjoyed being outdoors and this has added a new dimension. Recently I have enjoyed some visits to Belize and Costa Rica and developed an interest in the tropics. Favorite book: A Neotropical Companion by John Kricher. Favorite song: old blue chair Favorite muscician: Jack Johnson For my real job, I'm a community based pathologist. I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1978 with a Bachelor of Chemistry and Mayo Medical School in Minnesota with an MD in 1982. I did a 4 year residency in anatomic and clinical pathology at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Colorado 82-86 and a one year fellowship in surgical pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Texas 88-89. I was an Army medic in Missouri, Texas and Colorado from 1972-1975 and Chief of Pathology at Fort Leonard Wood Army Hospital in Missouri from 1986-1988. I have always had a side interest in infectious diseases, especially viral related.
