McGILL BIRD OBSERVATORY

PHOTO LIBRARY

               

Welcome to the MBO Photo Library!  In the event that you have reached this page without first visiting the introductory page, please click here for some important background information about this site.

Species accounts are being expanded and added on an ongoing basis as we acquire new photos.  Currently over 50 species accounts are available, and another 50+ are in various stages of preparation.  Additional species will be added to the list as opportunities permit; thank you for your patience as we continue to develop the site.  While the focus is overwhelmingly on eastern Canadian species at present, we plan to expand coverage to other parts of North America as we receive contributions from banders and birders across the continent.

Questions or comments are welcome at "mbo AT migrationresearch.org".
