Birding bring me serenity and photographing the birds I see along the way brings me joy. My photos are my effort to share these moments of encounter. For prints: brianjkmillerphotography.com

A barnie doing the backstroke! My favorite shot from the weekend: A Barn Swallow twisting its head around to grab an insect. Notice the nictitating membrane! I saw hundreds of these guys swooping and feeding on insects near Pymatuning Lake in Pennsylvania. #birds #sonyphotography #birdoftheday

White sitting in the garden today trying to photograph some avian visitors, I glanced over and noticed this handsome gal watching me intently. Wrong lens but I like the shot. #dogs #portraits
