The Birds

On this page, I have included the name and photo of every species I've written about on this blog.  I may make changes once in a while as I write more posts or take better photos.  There are multiple photos for some birds, to show either different angles or difference between male and female plumage (for most birds, the male is brighter in color).  The birds are arranged in the order in which they appear in most field guides (taxonomic order).

Note: Yay, 150+ birds on this page! Also, there is a problem with spacing on this page; I think the page might be loading strangely and adding spaces because of the large number of images. I might be splitting this page into two pages sometime in the future.

Note #2: The order of birds on this page is out of date. The taxonomic order has been changed. I don't know when I'll get around to fixing this page.
