Nancy's Bird Journal

This web page is a photographic journal of my bird watching. Most of my bird watching has been done in California, especially the San Francisco Bay Area. The Bay Area is a great place for birdwatching because it is on the migration flyway.

I started watching birds and taking their photographs in December, 2006 and I have become an avid bird watcher. Besides pictures of birds, I have also started to include pictures of my favorite places (under the menu item at the top labeled "Birding Places"). Other animals that caught my fancy, and photos from the Cosco Busan Oil spill are under "Other" in the above menu.

I am currently expanding the descriptions for each species to include more information. Also, a Bibliography has been added.

I am constantly changing these web page by adding new pictures and replacing old ones. I also have a few movies. Recently I have also started to put my favorite birding places on google maps. Check out "San Francisco Bay Area- East Bay" under the top menu item "Places ToGo".

To categorize my bird photographs, I have used an amalgamation of Ken Kaufman's book "Field Guide to Birds of North America" and David Allen Sibley's "The Sibley Guide to Birds".

I have used HighSlide to display the photos on the multiple image photos on the individual bird pages. The url is http://vikjavev.no/highslide/ HighSlide is a Javascript, but if you have disabled Java, you still should be able to view the photos.
