Hi there,
Originally from Washington State, I moved to British Columbia about 20 years ago after, shall we say, a difference of opinion? I have lived on the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver island for most of my stay in BC, with a couple of years on a ranch in the bush SW of Vanderhoof. Now though, Vancouver Island is home, and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I'm a birder, a professional wildlife consultant, a devoted grandparent, and an activist commited to bringing reason and empathy back into decisionmaking. Fear and greed have ruled long enough. I am deeply concerned about issues relating to sustainability. If we don't get our affairs in order soon, we are all *%#$@&!
I am an active member and volunteer for several conservation groups here in BC and am currently a director with the British Columbia Field Ornithologists. I also moderate the Vancouver island bird chat group on Yahoo.

I am not a photographer, but I am trying! ;-)
If you wish to use any of the photos on this site, please ask first.
Fear is the mind killer.
Thanks for stopping by...........

"Poecile's photographs will take you to the real wild. He has a fantastic eye for cloud scapes and wide open spaces as well as for hummingbird nests in the close darkness of thick forest. When he is working in remote areas during the summer, I wait eagerly for the downloads. During the winter, his consistent willingness to endure exposure to cold for the benefit of seeing wild things inspires me to shed my slippers and get into rubber boots.
You love wild things, you will love Poecile's photo stream, that's all there is to it."9th January, 2008
