Portrait Project # 28, 29 / by Dave Hileman

Meet two very nice bird watchers. Jill and I were walking at the Seven Islands Birding Park along the French Broad River near Knoxville and were on our way back to our car when we came across Danielle and Mark. I helped them Identify a Northern Flicker that was a long way off using my telephoto lens. They were glad because, I believe. it was a new bird for the couple. They later saw 30 species including an Orange-crowned Warbler. I wish I had been with them then as I have only seen one of those in all the years of watching. Danielle and Mark were delightful and we were glad we encountered them and they posed nicely for my portrait project. Good Birding to you both.
