Recent photos This web page features recent bird photographs, primarily from the Pacific Northwest. My intent is to show both artistic and instructional photos of the birds as they appear right now. So most photos will be accompanied by a brief note of text. To submit a photo contact Greg Gillson first. Crop photos to 640x480 (or 480x640 vertical) [800x600 for very good photos] and save in medium jpeg resolution (7 of 12) for a final size of 50-125 kbytes. |
