Welcome    


Birdwatching in Colombia 'app' now available for iPhone and Android!


Welcome to BirdPhotos.com, where art meets science. This is a totally free educational site featuring high resolution, high quality photos of over (new) 6600 species, with hundreds more in User Albums. The main gallery includes scientific information through integration with several databases including the 2024.1 IUCN Red List and IOC 14.2 (new) taxonomy. BirdPhotos.com is also a place for photographers, nature lovers, and 'birders' to exchange ideas and information; we now have blogs, personal photo galleries, news, Bird Listing Software, checklists, Range Maps, histograms, the popular Bird Identification Quiz (with new Multiple Choice option), Geolocation maps, subspecies integration, non-English bird names, reverse video toggle, social networking, photo sharing and a discussion forum!

The main gallery is mostly birds, but other images can be featured in User Albums or special promotions. Gallery photo are selected based on scientific, artistic, or technical merit; ideally photos would excel in all three areas. And the quality of the main gallery is always improving as weaker photos are updated.
