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 63
species accounts are available, and another 45+ (listed below, but without links) are in various stages of
preparation. See the Yellow Warbler or Baltimore Oriole pages for examples of particularly comprehensive accounts. A key to the approximate status of each account is listed in the table:
D |
In development |
Not yet available - photos being processed and text being researched |
L |
Limited |
Only a few random images, providing little opportunity for comparison |
P |
Partial |
Approximately 25-75% of age/sex combinations documented to some extent |
M |
Mostly complete |
At least 75% of age/sex combinations documented to some extent |
F |
Full |
All regular age/sex combinations documented to some extent |
Additional species will be added to the list as
opportunities permit; thank you for your patience as we continue to
develop the site. Accounts updated in 2011 are flagged in the list below with an asterisk and feature an expanded introductory overview (35 species to date). While the focus is overwhelmingly on eastern
Canadian species at present, we are expanding coverage to other parts
of North America as we receive contributions from banders and birders
across the continent.
