Bird Photography Index - Photography by Kirk M. Rogers - Bird Photography - Bird Photographs by Species in an Alphabetical Index

I’ve been gearing up for ‘earthbound’ photography for a few years and started imaging birds with the advent of summer in 2006. This endeavor became a bit more ambitious
with the addition of a Canon 500mm f/4L image stabilized lens in July of that year. As I was developing a significant database of images with no proper display venue, I decided to add this
section to my website. For details of my 'earthbound' imaging system please refer to my article: My Canon Photographic System.

May 2008
Because many of my birding compatriots are asking about recent photographs I decided to change my format a bit during this migration period. I’ve constructed galleries by date and will post them so anyone who wishes can quickly peruse the images in lieu of looking up individual species. What can be viewed here is a sampling of what was photographed and gleaned from the group during the month. I’ll continue to add to it…

May 15, 2008
An extremely slow morning birding Evergreen Cemetery... However, I did manage some exposures at distance including a new species, the Black-throated Blue Warbler, a beautiful bird. I also added new images yesterday to the Warbler Shadows special edition gallery.

May 13, 2008
Spent another morning seeking warblers at Evergreen Cemetery... Before anyone checks the new postings please be advised that the colors displayed are right from the digital capture. In most cases a flash was used. No saturation boosting was done to any of these photographs. As a matter of fact other than cropping, some form of histogram stretch and some capture sharpening these images are pretty much unaltered. New postings have been added to: American Redstart; Magnolia Warbler - check these out (!); Palm Warbler and the Yellow-rumped Warbler. I also added new images to the Warbler Shadows special edition gallery.

May 12, 2008
Added a new species, Warbling Vireo and integrated some new images from Evergreen Cemetery in the following galleries: Chestnut-sided Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and American Robin; added new images to the Warbler Shadows special edition gallery.

May 11, 2008
Added two new species and integrated some new/improved images from a morning at Evergreen Cemetery. New birds include the: Ovenbird and some long range shots of a Broad-winged Hawk. This is how this bird would look in the field so I've included these images here for identification purposes. A completely new image set was added for the Chestnut-sided Warbler and new photographs have been added to the Least Flycatcher , Nothern Parula, Black-and-white Warbler, Nashville Warbler & Yellow Warbler. Plus a new Special Additon gallery, Warbler Shadows was uploaded.

May 9, 2008
Integrated or replaced numerous images into the index from recent photographic trips. Included most recently are Brown-headed Cowbird, Northern Harrier, Downy Woodpecker, White-throated & Chipping Sparrow, House Finch & Solitary Sandpiper.

A note about the photography...All images in this section are by the author. Most images viewed that are digitally framed and labeled have been printed at an appropriate size for the photographic image and added to my collection of works for exhibit. These are displayed when at shows and events either packaged on foam core, professionally framed or ArtiPlaq™ mounted as a final for purchase. The web versions are excellent representations, but a full resolution print significantly enhances the beauty of these images; all are ©Photography by Kirk M.
