Bird Photos

Here's a collection of photos that might be of interest. Some are mine; some are from others, with their permission. Please, please, please, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THESE IMAGES WITHOUT ACQUIRING PERMISSION TO DO SO. All images taken by me are copyrighted by Les Chibana. All other images are copyrighted by the credited photographer and cannot be used other than for viewing at this web site without first acquiring permission from the photographer.

 

Rarities

These are images of locally rare birds. Click on the photo.

   
 

Studies

These images are offered as an adjunct for discussions of bird identification, plumage details, etc. Click on the photo.

   
 

Oddities

Without getting into the correctness of terminology, this section includes birds that aren't their normal color, for whatever reason. This refers to "schizochroistic-plumage" whether it's "partially albinistic", leucistic, melanistic, zanthochroistic, etc. It will also include birds with deformities, as in elongated bills. Click on the photo to enter.

   
 

Escapees

Every now and then, I have an opportunity to photograph a non-native species in the field, probably having gained its freedom from a captive situation. So, finally, I have a place to share these images.

   
 

Lepidoptera (butterflies, moths)

They say, when the birding (or bird photography) is slow, look down. It's not hard to notice butterflies. But to me, they're even harder identify than birds.
