FC: Birds! Photos from Around the World by Charlie Doggett

1: Nature Photography became my hobby when I lived in The Gambia, West Africa for three years. A love of nature has since found me photographing in Tennessee State Parks, our U.S. National Parks and on trips to Brazil, Guatemala, Panama, Mexico and my favorite Costa Rica! Pura Vida! The photo above is a Peacock at San Diego Zoo, California.
