BAJA BIRDER WEBSITE


"ABOUT ME" PAGE




My name is John Spencer.

77 years old (2008), single, retired, looking for a traveling and birding companion.

I take three or four major overseas birding/nature trips each year. However I 'bird' as often as I can, traveling and camping during the summers in the United States.

I live in Mexico. My home is in southern Baja Mexico, on the Sea of Cortez. I generally travel north in June/July and return to Baja in Sept/Oct.

I am an avid bird-watcher and have been for many years. When at home I bird almost every morning. However to be really truthful, I bird mainly to get bird photographs. It's just as hard to get a good picture orf a common bird as a rare one. In order that others may enjoy my photographs I have them printed in calendars and photobooks.

I carve realistic birds out of wood, paint pictures of birds and carve walking-sticks to leave at trail heads.
