Bird Photography Index - Photography by Kirk M. Rogers
Since my youth I’ve had an interest in birds. With my photographic endeavors expanding in recent history, I took opportunities to image them whenever I could – it is both enjoyable and challenging. In 2006 I started to gear up to accommodate this task and was developing a significant database of images with no proper display venue so decided to add this index to my website. It has grown considerably in that timeframe. These images were taken in my local area and from wherever I happen to find myself while traveling with my cameras. The short list would include Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and parts of Canada – mostly New Brunswick. For details and some comments about my imaging system please refer to my article, My Canon Photographic System, found on my Writings & Articles page. I also have various bird & nature related articles posted. If you have an interest in my birding photojournals the direct link can be found at Birding and Bird Photography.

This index page was totally revised in November 2008. I had the list tabled in alphabetical order and it was becoming too unwieldy and difficult to revise in that format. The revision was indexed referencing ‘The Sibley Guide to the Birds’, Copyright 2000 by Chanticleer Press (ISBN 0-679-45122-6).


Recent additions to the Index, May 2009:

I returned to Savannah for a week in late April to complete some photographic assignments for the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge. Their new Visitors Center is planned for a July or August opening and I was obtaining some scenes for the interpretive signs. I also had the privilege of visiting the Wassaw & Blackbeard Island refuges and was provided a wonderful tour of the Savannah River by boat. This trip was mostly about landscape and specific scene photography but I was able to locate and photograph four new birds for my index as follows:

Least Tern; Barn Owl; Chuck will's widow and the Northern Rough-winged Swallow

A note about the photography...All images are by Kirk M. Rogers. Most images have been printed at an appropriate size 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 photographs. Please contact me should you have an interest in obtaining any of the images.
