Title: Backyard Bird Gallery
Post by: Nichi on January 30, 2010, 08:56:36 AM
Over the years, I've subscribed to many bird-focused magazines: BirdWatcher's Digest, Audubon, Birder's World, and many others. Of them all, Birder's World has the finest photography. In fact, the magazine really focuses on the photography of birds: birders talking equipment and trading tips, sharing their work, etc. etc.  (It's all come such a long way, the art and technology therein.)

Anyway, I stumbled on this link and had to share.

Backyard Bird Gallery (http://cs.birdersworld.com/brdcs/photos/backyard/picture66391.aspx)

These are the readers' pics (amateurs), and they range from the mundane to the superb. There are over 400, and it's worth the eye-candy on a rainy day --- assuming you love birds.

They are mostly N.American birds, though I see the occassional European photo.

We have a wonderful woman who reads the news on our multi-cultural channel, SBS, who looks exactly like that last one!
