Birds of the United States

Photographs of birds taken in the United States. These include photos from my native North Carolina and also from our travels. The photographic equipment used was either a Canon D20 or D40 and a 300 mm IS F4 or 400 mm DO IS F4 lens with or without a 1.4 converter. They are in taxonomic order. If you would like to use one of the photos please refer to the information on the profile page. I hope you enjoyed looking at them. Thank you!
