Species Conservation: Birds

Keeping Wildness

At the present time there are about 10,000 bird species on planet Earth. They have evolved over 150 million years from dinosaur ancestors to produce a current array of incredible diversity in appearance and behaviors. Birds are exquisite sensors of the health of our ecosystems which are clearly at risk. This section highlights some images I have captured of these awe inspiring creatures. Additional pictures can be found in other sections on this website for Atlantic Puffins, Arctic Terns, Eider Ducks, Kittiwakes (Iceland) and Great Blue Herons (Great Blue Herons).
