Hi everyone
I've just been part of this community since the beginning of the year, but I'm having a great time here!

I really enjoy everyones terrific posts as well as honest comments and critiques. Of course I learned a thing or two already too

Anyway, I though I might introduce myself.
I'm _, just about finishing a zoology degree at Michigan State (in december) after that I really don't know what I'll do, probably come back to the US for a Masters.
Photography is a rather new hobby for me. I bought my first (well second but the first doesn't count ) SLR late in 2004 and started getting more serious in '05. Of course birds are the main interest and reptiles if I can find them.
During the summers I'm usually "home" in Switzerland working with raptor rehabilitation.

I think that'll do for now.
As I said, I'm enjoying everyday at NPN with all the friendly folks here

btw, the photo is from last summer as I was doing some macro work.
