Hello to All

I am new to this site. I live in California and have a degree in Biological Photography. I have been in and out of photography for years- since the early 1970's. I was surfing the net the other day and happened to run across you guys. After perusing the site, it appears there are a wide variety of skill levels. I am pleased to see this mix, since many of the PRO sites seem to collect very narrow mindsets when it comes to photography and what it should be.
I have taught photography from the elementary school level through college - and even adult classes and workshops. My emphasis and preferences are slanted towards the natural history viewpoint, but I have done advertising, portrait, wedding, and other commercial stuff as well. I design exhibits that deal with natural and cultural history, so I seem to have drifted more into the illustrating end more than photography the past decade.
I have a lot of knowledge that I enjoy sharing with others, and I have not learned it all, so any feedback I receive from others is welcomed. As a matter of fact, I am more interested in what individual don't like as opposed to what they do about my work.
I hope I can get the time to spend more of it on this site. I will attach a few of my recent shots. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks for the welcome. I often find that many people overlook some of the more common flora and fauna. Glad you enjoyed it. Even though it is one of the more common birds of this area, they are not noted for being gregarious as sparrows and finches seem to be. They are a bit more secretive as well. Here are a couple of other common, but not sought after because they aren't exceptionally colorful, birds.
White Crowned Sparrow
Oak Titmous
Hermit Thrush
