Finally joined BPN and just wanted to introduce myself....
I've been photographing birds for about 3 years now. After many years on hiatus, wintering Bald Eagles here in the Hudson Valley are what got me back into photography. I've since become interested in other raptors, song birds, and (most recently) shore birds. I find birds to be incredibly challenging and interesting photographic subjects. Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun doing it.
BTW - I'm also going to be on the bald eagle IPT March 17-22, so if anyone else is going - please say hi!
Charles, Big welcome to BPN! I'm sure you will love the bear boat! I am going but I think it's the 22nd that I go. Again big welcome and jump right in!!

Welcome to BPN Charles! Yes, bird photography is both challenging and fun...and addictive!! Have fun with the Bald Eagles!! Show us some pictures when you return:cool:
