by Don and Elaine Cassidy

After 38 years of educating teenagers, Don Cassidy joined his wife Elaine in their shared passion of watching birds and chasing that perfect photograph. Since the summer of 2017 they have travelled to popular Alberta birding sites, seeking out their own first sightings of different bird species while creating memories together.

Through their “Coots and Cameras” column, they will share their adventures and growing knowledge about the magic and beauty that birds provide. “Full disclosure though,” Don says. “Elaine and I are fledglings in this shared pursuit and we are learning as we go.”

Learn along with them in every issue of Respect. Or if you are a seasoned naturalist, write to us and share your own observations!
