This is THE Most Extensive Bird Photo Gallery - 936+ (898+ excluding Hawai'i) Bird species (by one photographer)
on the Internet from the ABA (American Birding Association) - photographed in North America north of the Mexican border.
There is no other, although a couple state these words, because they don't have
species images FROM North America but taken on other continents.
PLUS - over 2.200 species of Birds, Mammals, and other species from North America
and Eastern Asia (China, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong). Costa Rica, Ecuador, and the Bahamas

THIS SITE IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND IT IS MY HOPE THAT ALL MAY LEARN FROM IT

EDUCATION and LEARNING

Although my life long passion has been to photograph every bird and mammal species in North America
and eastern Asia and some Central and South American countries including the Bahamas
I've also wanted to assemble enough images on one website for all to learn from.
With this goal I've already attained the largest photo list of bird species from
North America (north of Mexico) than anyone, and continue to strive to
add more species but also continue to add more images altogether.


Enjoy the beauty of most all of North America's birds and mammals!
As well as some Butterflies, Odonata, and Herpes, Insects, Spiders, and Snakes.
Along with many species from the Bahamas, Central, and South America


Including a number of the rarest North American birds from places like:
Attu Island, Alaska, Gambell, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, St. Paul, Pribilof Islands, Alaska, Adak, Alaska,
Texas, SE Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Bahamas, and my home state of California.


And, special galleries of Thailand, Bahamas, the Birds of Japan, China, Hong Kong, Ecuador, and Costa Rica.

IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTICE ABOUT OUR WEBSITE:

I am Not (nor have I) for years added any new images to the specific group galleries
(i.e. Hummingbirds, Owls, Shorebirds, etc.)
GO TO THE INDIVIDUAL SPECIES PAGE (IMAGE LIST) to see all the species images please.

ALL GALLERY Pages are very old now (over 15 years)
Go to the IMAGE Species link for individual species images of all species
