Welcome to birdsbyjohn.com, which presents a selection of my bird photographs--for your enjoyment, and to explore the many ways birds can be experienced visually.

The Galleries display the bird images themselves in a number of categories. From there, go to Recent Postings for links to specific trips and other pages.   There is information on people and organizations (under Resources) that have provided us with help and inspiration.   On the Prints page, you will find information on ordering. We have a great many more images beyond those here;  please contact us, and we can tell you more about what's available.

A recent post presents images from my exhibition, "Birds of the Massachusetts Coast", at the  U.S. Fish and Wildlife gallery in Hadley MA  (summer 2009).

The Activities page gives information on recent and upcoming events.  This year I've given a number of presentations on the Galapagos Islands, and this site includes a page of  Galapagos images, mostly from these shows.  In May 2009 my wife and I  joined a Hampshire Bird Club trip to Monhegan Island.
