TRAVELS & OBSERVATIONS

Beginning about 40,000 years ago early man was recording their memories in cave paintings. Much later, he began to write poems and prose. But only in the past 100 years has it become possible for us to record and interpret the world around us through photography.

My wish is that these photographs will speak to you of the world as I have seen and experienced it.

BIRDS OF THE DANUBE DELTA

Because of its critical physical position for bird migration out of Europe and Asia to Africa in the fall and back again in the spring, the Danube Delta attracts ornithologists and wildlife photographers from throughout the world. I took the photos that appear in this book during August and September of 2015 while touring and birding in the Delta. This wetland provides critical refuge for several globally threatened species and is home to 325 bird species, 43 species of mammals, and 135 species of fish. 70% of the world's white pelican population and 60% of the world's pygmy cormorants are resident in the Wetland. 



May this photo journal serve to preserve, at least digitally, a few of these bird species.
