Recent Bird Sightings

The term digiscoping was coined in 1999 by French birdwatcher Alain Fossé. The origins of the activity called Digiscoping has been attributed to the photographic method of Laurence Poh, a birdwatcher from the Malaysian Nature Society... and the method I use for all the images and film in the Nature Planet Gallery.

These photo and video documentaries are designed not just to educate, but to inspire. Whether you are new to the world of birdwatching or an experienced enthusiast, there’s something for everyone in our Nature Planet Gallery collection. Come along and witness nature as you’ve never seen it before—one photo at a time.

The Texas Series images were captured to film while exploring the Brownsville Rio Grande Valley woodlands, waterways, ponds, cactus fields, and tidal marsh bird habitats.
