What this site covers
Where the content comes from
This site began as a personal photography and field-notes project and has grown into a fuller reference over time. Species facts are written from public ornithological and entomological reference sources; nothing on this site is invented or guessed. Where a photo is sourced from a third party under a Creative Commons license, it's credited on the Photography Credits page.
Not a substitute for expert guidance
Species information here is intended for general identification and educational interest. For rare or unusual sightings, injured wildlife, or anything requiring expert handling, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or your local Audubon chapter rather than relying on this site alone.
