Hello Everyone,

I recently relocated from the San Francisco Bay area to Bellingham Washington where I will now spend my summers. I've been an avid bird watcher and photographer for many years and enjoy the hobby and the company of like-minded enthusiasts very much.

Since moving to Bellingham I have been very busy so I haven't had a great deal of time for observing or photography yet, but the summer is still young. I did spot a SCARLET TANAGER near the 48 mile post on Mt. Baker highway about a week ago, but by the time I got my camera out the bird had flown....so to speak.

I'm really looking forward to meeting other members of tweeters and would be pleased to receive e-mails from other members in the group who are in the Bellingham area. My e-mail address is pterzian at pacbell.net.

In the meantime, if you are interested in looking at some of my bird photos I have a web site you can visit. The most recent images are at the bottom of the list, the oldest are at the top.

Also, I recently published a children's bird book with photos and rhymes. You can take a look here (or Amazon....or Barnes and Noble). It's called Alphabet Birds.

Hope I get to meet many of you soon.

Best regards and happy birding.
