Welcome to the bird pictures section.

It consists of pictorial essays about the types of bird species within different bird families. The Birds Articles section provides more textual information about different topics.

For navigation simplicity, the listed albums take you to articles with pictures of different bird species in the family.

Most albums do not provide comprehensive species coverage. Over time the gallery changes because half the fun of bird photography is the consistent search for better pictures.

The Bird Photography Tips article provides more detailed information.

School students may use the pictures for reports as long as they also use the copyright label. No further permission is needed.

West Coast resident and migrant birds currently account for the majority of the pictures. Some bird species, such as the American Crow and the American Robin are found throughout the United States.

Most of the pictures were taken in natural settings. In many cases, species descriptions and photography information accompany individual photographs.
