Bird Album
Here is our bird album. It includes all the birds we've seen and
photographed on our property. There are lots of other birds we've
seen, but haven't photographed yet. They'll show up here eventually,
though!
Select from the menu to the left, or the links below to view photos of the birds
at our house. The hummingbird photos are, in my opinion, the best photos
on this site. Be sure to check them out!

Earlier Photographs were taken with some combination of and Olympus C3000Z
Digital Camera, Eagleeye OpticZoom + Olympus 1.45x Lens, Tiffen Megaplus 2X
Lens. The far off shots were taken with the eagleeye, and tend to not be
as sharp as some of the closer photos taken with the Tiffen. Later photos
were often taken by a Panasonic Lumix FZ-10 Digital Camera. Most photos were
sharpened and cropped in Paint Shop Pro 8.
Photos are by both Melissa and Pete. We're both just learning how to take
good photos, so I fully expect this pictures will get better over time.
All photographs are copyrighted 2002-2004 by Peter Brown and Melissa
Brown. Please do not use them on your site without first obtaining
written permission from us. Thanks.
By the way, if you like the bird photos here, check out my desktop wallpaper

guestbook.
