l am a professional photographer. I am a member of Bird Studies Canada, CWF, WWF & Six Mile Lake Conservationists Club. I also monitor frogs & turtles in affiliation with Ontario Nature programs and Toronto Zoo's Adopt a Pond programs. I use a Sony A77 with a 150-500 mm lens & a Panasonic FZ200 with a good zoom capability,so I can keep a safe a distance to take photos of the species, respecting them and their space without stressing them. They all need to be protected. Remember their habitat is also our habitat. Patience always rewards me. Respect always comes before any photography. With a lot of work, understanding and getting along with each other, we can make a difference!! I also have helped rescue or gone solo in rescuing, foxes,Canada Geese, gulls,squirrels,turtles,raccoon,owls,loons, songbirds and more.I am a 2 time reward winner from Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority in 2011 and Ontario Nature in 2016, and have been published. Also in the midst of having my first book published by Toronto Zoo Adopt a Pond on turtles. Wildlife is my life. My soul , my energy!
