My Bird Compendium

All New Photos for 2008 with more coming each week!
This page was last updated on April 29, 2008.

All my photos were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel XT with a Zoom EF 75-300mm Lens. I use Photoshop CS3 to crop the images, but rarely do any other adjustments other than a little brightness/contrast when necessary.

I began this project when I had difficulty finding easy-to-use online bird databases to help me identify my birds. It was as if I already had to know the official Latin name of the bird to look it up. So I've arranged this list according to their common names, including a photo here, and several photos from different angles on their individual pages when I have them, to help you identify your birds.

I've also collected links to other great bird pages.

If I've misidentified anything below, please let me know.

Bald Eagle	Bluebirds	Blue Jays
Canada Goose	Cardinals	Chickadees
Grackles	Heron	Dark-Eyed Junco
Robins	Red Bellied Woodpecker	Ruby-Crowned Kinglet
Sandpipers	Tree Swallows	White-Throated Sparrow
