I'd like to use this photo for the "Peterson Reference Guide to the Sparrows of North America".
Please contact me if you are interested.
Thanks!

Hi,
I hope you do not mind me contacting you but in searching the internet for images of the Paria whitestart (Myioborus pariae) I found a number of your images on you Pbase site which I would be interested in using for ARKive, if you would like to become involved.
ARKive - www.arkive.org - is a unique conservation initiative.
Films, photographs and audio recordings of the world’s animals, plants and fungi are being gathered into one centralised digital library. To date we have created digital multi-media profiles for some 3000 species, digitising and storing more than 20,000 still images and over 60 hours of moving footage. These important audio-visual records are being preserved and maintained for the benefit of future generations and are being made available via the ARKive website.
I can e mail some more detailed documentation that will tell you a lot more about the ARKive project if you would like. However, in summary:
• It is ARKive's current primary aim to compile audio-visual records for the 16,000-plus species currently threatened with extinction, according to the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
• We are looking for media (moving footage, still images, audio) to depict each species' life history as comprehensively as possible. In order for us to achieve this aim we need help from as wide a variety of donors as possible and would like to be able to add you to our list of contributors.
• The ARKive website acts as a showcase for image providers, displaying copyright and contact details with every image and links to each media donor's own web activities.
See examples of species which have been ARKived at www.arkive.org.
I really hope to hear from you as your images are fantastic. You can contact me directly on mairead.maclean@wildscreen.org.uk to discuss further ARKive and your potential participation in the project.
Best wishes,
Dr Mairead Maclean
ARKive Media Researcher
"Over the past few decades a vast treasury of wildlife images has been steadily accumulating, yet no one has known its full extent - or its gaps - and no one has had a comprehensive way of gaining access to it. ARKive will put that right. It will become an invaluable tool for all concerned with the well-being of the natural world.”
Sir David Attenborough
"ARKive is a noble project, one of the most valuable in all of biology and conservation practice. It has whatever support I am able to give it."
