Squawk!

I met so many gifted photographers in Alaska, from whom I learned so much - one who recently joined the flickr community. In the words of Sergeant Pepper, let me introduce to you, the one and only Phil Witt. Phil definitely has "the gift" - and he's a dog-gone good birder. Check his stuff out!

Another new flickr member who I have known for years is Tom Merigan who, like most bird photographers, has a passion bordering on obsession. I taught Tom a little Photoshop. He taught me to appreciate pinot noir - a pretty good bargain I'd say! :-)
