BIRDS (8 Galleries plus Favorites)
10 galleries
Birds dot our world with color and wondrously entertaining activity. They have evolved into many forms to negotiate every climate and environment on earth. Therefore, I have made several galleries to house some of my images of birds. This "Bird Favorites" Gallery is comprised of images from the eight Gallery categories within this "Birds" collection. Please view each bird Gallery of interest within the "Birds" for more.
