Photo Lifelist

5 comments

This is the Birdfreak Team’s photo lifelist. We have ordered the birds as they are in the Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America.

A photo lifelist is pretty much the same as a regular life list except the bird must be clearly photographed. The photo doesn’t have to be great, just diagnostic (although better photos are always the goal).

For each bird, click on the link to view a picture of the bird (try it out on this Cerulean Warbler)

Good idea - I have one of these on Flickr with pretty much the same criteria. My real lifelist is 300+ - now I just have to get my photo lifelist to match it.

Thanks for these great picture. They all brings me great memories of my birding time in North America and Central America :-) Thanks again
