Bill Bergen's has a great passion in wild bird photography, fact is it's so acute we just call him "Billbird", when you ask  Bill what kind of pictures do you shoot, his replay will always be "I just shoot birds", and that's a fact folks.  To observe migratory birds moving between hemispheres twice a year is truly an exciting event for ornithologists and birdwatchers.  For Bill, when he can get a close-up photograph of these beautiful creatures, it's and extraordinary, near-religious experience.

 For instance, Bill's portfolio includes, among many other species, 10 species of hummingbirds, most notably the Ruby-throated, which flies 500miles across the Gulf of Mexico in approximately 18 hours.  The tiny birds leave the Yucatan Peninsula in early spring to breed in North America.  They return to Mexico in the fall to spend the winter.

Over the years, Bill's images have been published in such national magazines as:

  In Louisiana:

Bill's photographs have also been used in the North Carolina Museum of Natural History. Over the years Bill's hobby has provided him with many hours of pleasure and he loves to share the results of his efforts with all.
