There are two ways to view the bird photos:
- Below is a list of all birds seen in Howard County.
To see the photo, click on the name.
- At the top of each column below, there is the word
"Thumbnails" in aqua. To see thumbnail photos for that
column, click on the column number.
- Birds photographed in Howard County show the
location, date, and photographer’s name.
- Birds photographed elsewhere show only the
photographer’s name.
- If the name of the bird is on a yellow background,
there is no photograph.

This is an on-going project!
Where possible, photographs taken in Howard County are
used. (Birds photographed in Howard County show the
location, date, and photographer’s name. Birds
photographed elsewhere show only the photographer’s
name.) We still need more photos. Here is a list of
photos needed.
Some of these photographs may be copyrighted by the
photographer. Before reproducing or using any of these
photographs, contact the photographer for permission. If
you are unable to contact the photographer directly, send
an email to the
Howard Bird Club with the necessary information, and
we will forward it to the photographer.
The fine print:
- With the advent of digital
photography, new opportunities to show off bird pictures
are available to bird watchers with cameras.
- Howard County Bird Club's Photo Page
is provided so that birders have a visual reference for
species recorded in Howard County. It is also a medium
for photographers in the Howard County Bird Club to
display their work. Pictures are selected to be
representative of birds of Howard County, show field
marks that help with identification, and are esthetically
pleasing. The pictures may show habitat, action, or
groups of birds. Photographers represented have given the
Howard County Bird Club permission to display the
photographs on the web page, but the photographers retain
all rights (including copyright) of the images
themselves. Contact the photographer about reproduction
rights (through the photo page if desired).
- Where possible, photographs taken in
Howard County are used. All photographs must be sponsored
by a Howard County Bird Club member.
- The photo page is dynamic, and images
displayed will change over time, but there is no
requirement to change the display after a set time
period. Additional pictures of a species may be added (or
substituted) if they show something different. There is a
practical limit of having all photographs of one species
fit on a single web page. The size of the photographs may
be changed by the webmaster so they fit on a single web
page.
- If you have photos you want considered
for inclusion, email the webmaster with information about
the photos and about you. Photographs with a minimum of
intervention (except cropping) through use of electronic
photo processing are preferred. The webmaster may edit
what is submitted for consistency of image quality among
the photographs displayed.
- It comes down to this: If you have
digital photographs you want considered, send them in. We
can't display the photographs we have never seen!
