I am Shawn Kraus.
I am located just North of Syracuse.
I am quite new to bird photography and am still learning something each day.
I started shooting birds about 2 years ago and I shoot every chance I get.
I can't afford to travel much, so I tend to shoot what is available to me locally.
If you see a light green Prius with a little gnome on the antennae that is me.
Feel free to say hi.
I love conversation, sharing ideas and meeting new people.
