Bird Photography

• http://www.ofo.ca Select the link to Photos. This is a site I browse for bird sighting of interest. You can also post your photos. Often the users will post their email address and location. I then converse with them to find new spots to shoot from. Lately we have been going to Whitby’s Lynde Shores Conservation. An excellent place to view birds and feed from your hand. You often run into many amature and pro shooters, a good place to meet and learn from others. [Glenn Steplock]
