Bird Photos: Escapees
Over the years while looking at and photographing
wild birds, I've encountered birds that were obviously, or apparently,
of captive origin. Most of these birds are nonetheless still neat
to look at and if I could capture a photo image of them, I'd like
to have a place to share it. So, this is what these pages are
about. These birds were likely releases or escapees from captivity.
The origins of these birds are not known unless so noted.
Click on the image of the bird to see the photos.
