Online ID reference photos

[Romy Ocon]

For the birdnuts who don't have the Kennedy Guide yet (or any guidebook for that matter), in addition to our in-forum Photo-Guide, here's a link to the bird database of the Oriental Bird Club:

www.orientalbirdimages.org/birdimages.php

Here's the site of the Wild Bird Club of the Phils (WBCP) with 6 photo galleries:

www.birdwatch.ph/


Here are my personal galleries/database:

1. Non-endemic (184 species, taxonomically arranged)
www.pbase.com/liquidstone/nonendemics

2. Endemics (64 species, randomly arranged)
www.pbase.com/liquidstone/endemics


To Bobby, Nilo, Neon, PropGerry, Tina, Chito, Ding and the more active shooters in the gang, you can also post the URL of your bird galleries here for reference to the newly diagnosed birdnuts...

Possibly I could have one of the most extensive private photodatabases of Philippine birds in the world (or world birds for that matter - I think I have somewhere around 9,200 species represented by at least one photo). For example, my avatar photo - the only known photo of the bird - who will be the first to guess it? In any case, for at least some of the species for which there are no known web photos, I may have something in my DB and available privately by e-mail for copyright considerations.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the photographers for sharing their pics. Not only are they very helpful but soothing as well. When I feel a little stressed-out and can't sleep, your pictures relax me. Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat.

Here's the link to my site. They contain probably 90% birds. Some are crawling animals just for fun.

I don't have the birds' names on the title but you can see them in the embedded metadata (keywords).

Someday, when I get a sudden surge of energy (and time), I will put name-titles on all of them.

I agree. In gealogical time! Des and I both know that for however many years one can vet available information for determining bird ID's, that situations always crop up, and always will, in which definitive ID's are simply not possible. You get better, you expand your possibility to instantly recognize the more distinctive species, but, you don't get perfect!
