Bibliography

No bird is included on this site that I have not personally observed and photographed. There are many reference books, however, that I use to study about these birds so I can better understand them. If you would like to see a list of the reference books I've used in learning and writing about birds, click here.

Would you believe I once thought this little fellow to the left, a Cattle Egret, as being a rather "common-looking" bird. How wrong I was! Find out more about this magnificent bird here.
