Home	Image List by Family	Photographer Bio	Help

Enjoy the beauty of many North America's birds and mammals!  Now over 820 species (over 1,400 worldwide)
of birds photographed from the US / CANADA area plus many large mammals and cetaceans,
including a number of the rarest North American birds from places like:
Attu Island, Alaska, Gambell, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, St. Paul Island, Alaska, Texas, SE Arizona, Florida,
and my home state California.

And, special galleries of the Birds of Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Thailand.

IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTICE ABOUT OUR WEBSITE:

GALLERY IMAGES HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR NEARLY FOUR YEARS

PLEASE GO TO IMAGE SPECIES PAGE (by Species)

IMAGE SPECIES (Link)


I am Not adding any new images to the specific group galleries  (i.e. Hummingbirds, Owls, Shorebirds, etc.)
until I complete getting ALL the individual SPECIES web pages completed.

For INDIVIDUAL SPECIES PAGES:
http://www.tsuru-bird.net/a_species/robin_american
(use this format -all lower case- for a species)

I am finally almost done (adding a few that need to be scanned from slides)
after completing everything "A" thru "Y" (Yellowthroat) species into their individual SPECIES web pages.

Use the "IMAGE LIST" link to search the species you want to view.

Because of this the "GALLERIES" web pages are becoming more and more out of date.

One last note.  Many websites show those beautiful and "pretty" pictures, which are obviously wonderful.
However, I've attempted to lean toward images which give more of a 'learning' experience
by showing species as they are MOST often seen.  Do you ALWAYS see them in breeding plumage
with the sun behind you, sitting sideways, and perfectly?  No.  So when you see a bird with it's head turned away,
or not in perfect spring breeding plumage, or a perfect look, what do you do?  Look at the
Pretty Pictures?  No, you'd hope to find somewhere that will give you some images that
show other angles and more 'typical' views of a bird so you can ID it.  And, females and
immature individuals as well, not just breeding males.
This is not a site for just pretty pictures - I really hope that people can learn from my images.

That has been my focus on this website.  Learning - not just Pretty Pictures.
