Edith Tucker – we will see what we can come up with but currently we do not have any Bicknell’s Thrush photos. A good place to start would be to contact some of the Flickr Users who have photos of this thrush: http://flickr.com/search/?q=bicknell%27s+thrush – Many bird photographers on Flickr are pretty willing so long as it is for a good cause.

I’m looking for a photograph of a Bicknell’s thrush. I’m a reporter at a weekly newspaper in northern N. H. who covers the story of a proposed wind farm on high-elevation ridges. State wildlife biologists believe that the proposed project could hurt habitat used by the Bicknell’s thrush and the 3-toed woodpecker. A local birder has let the Coös County Democrat use his image of the woodpecker, but I have not been able to local a Bicknell’s. Could you help, please.

This is really awesome of you. There have been several instances where I wanted to write a blog post on an avian topic but didn’t because a blog post without a photo seems sort of lame. I’m not a photographer in any real sense of the word so your generosity is really appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Eddie, Congrats on Cornell using your photos! They know something good when they see it and so do we.

Very generous of you to allow others to use your lovely images. How cool that Cornell contacted you! Nice swallowtail there, too. Keep up the good work.

Not a bad approach. I’m practically in the same boat. I decide however on a case by case basis. While I grant most requests, I’d like to have some control on where my pictures are shown and what they are used for.
Cheers, Klaus
