What an amazing array of wildlife you have in your garden! great collection V

RBB		28-Aug-2016 16:29
Thank you for sharing. I live in West Atherton and am frequented by fairly large black birds that tend to flock together and are quite noisy. I don't know whether they are Ravens, crows or blackbirds. Any idea?

jxsq		30-Aug-2012 01:07
You must be one the luckiest bird photographer in the world!

Beth Guislin		09-Jul-2012 01:07
Thank you for sharing your exquisite work. I also have had spotted towhees in the yard and couldn't identify them until finding your site.

Guest		21-Jan-2012 17:16
These piictures are fabulousa. A spotted Towhee has been in my yard for motns but until noow I didn't know what he was. Thank you so much foor these pictures.

Dave Barnes		30-Oct-2011 23:15
Wow, best collection of yard birds on pbase - fantastic, greta pics too. Thanks for sharing.

David Cross		21-Sep-2009 22:18
Great website. It really helped me ID the birds that are coming to my feeder. I've found all but the black scruffy four legged rodent that is a regular at the bath and the feeder. Warm Regards, David

Kathy Bezy		14-Sep-2009 19:21
What an inspirational web site. Thank you for the pleasure it offered me this morning. I am bringing a few copper quail to China for gifts, and wanted a good photo to accompany them in case these birds are unknown in Guilin. Hard to choose, yours are so sensitive. kathy Arnold, CA.

Terry		13-May-2009 02:24
You have a great and very helpful website. I always check with you first, when I'm trying to ID a new visitor to our yard or the vaious places around the region where my wife and I walk and bird.

David		02-May-2009 19:03
Thank you for the lovely pics. This helped us identify birds in our backyard in Almaden.

Guest		13-Jul-2008 18:02
Beautiful pictures, thank you Tom. You helped me identify the spotted towhee I saw in my local community garden! We are lucky to have this wonderful variety of birds to enjoy! Libby

Mary		10-May-2008 15:25
Thank you for your wonderful pictures and the names of the birds. I have now identified that we have "House Finches" nesting in our porch eaves. It has been so much fun to watch them build their nest and tend to their young.

Guest		04-Apr-2008 22:28
Hello Tom, You have the most beautiful photos of such a variety of birds. I just loved my tour of your galleries. Regards, Margo

Guest		07-Jan-2008 01:16
absolutely stunning pictures! thanks for posting these up, they're beautiful. I've picked up the hobby of taking photographs of birds fairly recently but I'm finding it hard to capture good photos, especially Fantails (New Zealand bird called Piwakawaka) who are acrobats! I'd love to see more of your photos in the future! Cheers Lisa (Auckland, New Zealand)

Vickie		11-Nov-2007 20:13
Awesome site!! Now I know the bird I've been watching is a Northern Flicker. It has a high pitched call that reminds me of a hawk. At first I thought it might be a small hawk, until I watched a squirrel run right by it. Thank you for making a beautiful website!

Linda		30-Sep-2007 16:03
These are wonderful photos and I really, really enjoyed them! Thank you for sharing!

Yvonne		15-Sep-2007 10:52
Really enjoyed looking at your bird pics.

Guest		16-Jul-2007 02:07
Wonderful photos. I really enjoy them all. Thanks, Cyra

cherie		16-May-2007 01:00
thank you for this site it helped me ident the bird in my yard. It is a flicker, only darker on top, and no spots on belly. Beautiful!

Walt I		23-Dec-2006 20:24
Stunning images! Well done!

Julie Turner		10-Sep-2006 07:43
I'm in awe of your photos. They're beautiful, crisp and really capture the personalities of these feathered friends. Great collection.

goldcoast watcher		20-Aug-2006 17:58
Pictures are great! Really like your site - much more informative for identification than most sites I've been searching.

Fong Lam		10-Aug-2006 11:01
Wow! what a huge gallery of wonderful bird shots. Congrats!

Guest		05-Aug-2006 00:06
Great gallery with wonderful compositions!

Calgirl		30-Jun-2006 18:19
Love your pics. As usual, I can't believe the wonderful shots that some people are able to get. Thanks.

Carolyn Frye		12-Apr-2006 00:19
Very good bird pictures. I was trying to identify a bird at my feeder, and I think it is a female dark-eyed junco. I enjoyed your pictures a lot. Thanks.

Diane DesCh�telets		30-Mar-2006 17:35
Beautiful galery. Congrats.
